Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Bow, Oxfordshire
Baths, showers and worktops in Bow need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Why it’s worth doing now in Bow
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a small place like Bow, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Bow
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Bow
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Around Bow, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Bow?
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Homes close to Church of St Denys include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What else we do in Bow
What bathroom resealing looks like in Bow
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Move toiletries away from the joint
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Bow
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Bow, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
