Specialist bathroom resealing for Bentworth: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Bathroom resealing in Bentworth, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Common call-outs are for mouldy sealant that has gone black and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Around Bentworth, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Bentworth: your questions answered

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Bentworth?
Yes, Bentworth is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Bentworth and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as Bentworth, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Bentworth
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black spots spreading through the bead
For landlords with property near Alton station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Bathroom resealing around Bentworth
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. Mary's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why act early in Bentworth
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. In a small place like Bentworth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
