Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Bathroom resealing in Chalvey: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Chalvey. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Slough station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Chalvey is about 1 mile south of Slough, in Slough. Jobs in Chalvey get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Across Slough, we cover 31 places, and Chalvey is one of them. Reading is on our list too, around 16 miles away.
Work in SL1 and SL4 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Local streets include Tuns Lane, Cress Road and Henry Road, all of which we cover. Chalvey sits on or near the A4 and A332.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Chalvey
I let a flat near Slough station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Chalvey?
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.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Chalvey, along with the rest of our area.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Chalvey
- Kitchen worktops & upstands

Common problems we fix in Chalvey
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Montem Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Parking around Chalvey is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
