Bowers Gifford Bathroom Resealing

- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Bathroom resealing in Bowers Gifford
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Somewhere as small as Bowers Gifford, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bowers Gifford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Bowers Gifford questions
Do you cover Bowers Gifford for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bowers Gifford is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Pitsea station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Generally after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
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.
What we’re called out for in Bowers Gifford
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Margaret's Church of England Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Other services in Bowers Gifford
Bathrooms and kitchens in Bowers Gifford
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.
Letting a property close to Pitsea station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around Saint Gabriel's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support

- Tiles that have come away from the wall
