Bathroom resealing in Bartley
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you’re dealing with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and two layers of silicone, both failing, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Bartley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
When to call us in Bartley
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Schools such as Bartley Church of England Junior School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking

What do you put in the joint?

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Bartley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Ashurst New Forest station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bartley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Bartley, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What affects the quote in Bartley
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
