About our bathroom resealing in Chickney
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Typical jobs include a reseal done over the top of the old bead and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Around Chickney, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Chickney
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. In a small place like Chickney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower in most cases. Somewhere as small as Chickney, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Chickney
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the quote in Chickney
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job

Chickney questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Stansted Airport station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Chickney?
Yes, Chickney is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
