Keeping the joints in good condition

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:

  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet

Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

Bathroom resealing in Bishop's Sutton

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, we can put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Somewhere as small as Bishop's Sutton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Bishop's Sutton homes and their sealant

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bishop's Sutton. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

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.

Bishop's Sutton: your questions answered

Do you take on hotel work around Bishop's Sutton?

Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

When can I use the bath or shower again?

We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.

Do you guarantee your resealing?

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.

Do I have to be there?

That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Bishop's Sutton

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The number and length of the joints

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we need to know

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • The type of property
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • A few photos by email, if you can

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When it is not the sealant

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Bishop's Sutton

Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.

The most common problems we see are:

  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes
  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • A bead that has pulled away from the tiles

Managing a site like Perins School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • The length of the guarantee
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • Is VAT in the price?

How to choose a mastic man

What the job involves on each surface

Sinks & splashbacks

Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.

Shower trays & enclosures

The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.

How it works

We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Bishop's Sutton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
