Bathroom resealing in Burlow, done properly
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Burlow. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. If you are dealing with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black spots spreading through the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Burlow, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Landlord and commercial work in Burlow
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Burlow, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Burlow, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Bathroom resealing around Burlow
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up 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 Christ Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Burlow is about 4 miles north of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Burlow gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Burlow is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we work for bathroom resealing. For nearby work, see our Brighton page.
We work across TN21 for bathroom resealing. You’ll find streets such as Chiddingly Road and The Hedgerows.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

What else we do in Burlow
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we are called out for in Burlow
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The most common problems we see are:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water getting behind the bath panel
In and around Burlow, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
