About our bathroom resealing in Chilton Foliat

Typical jobs include a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and damp behind the bath or under the tray, across basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Bathroom resealing around Chilton Foliat
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Chilton Foliat Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Chilton Foliat: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Chilton Foliat?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hungerford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Chilton Foliat?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.

Common problems we fix in Chilton Foliat
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Letting a property close to Hungerford station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Chilton Foliat, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What the job involves on each surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
