How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom from start to finish. In a London area like Collier Row, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bathroom resealing in Collier Row
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Collier Row, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Collier Row
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the bath panel
As a London address, Collier Row can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Collier Row
I live in a flat in Collier Row. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you take on hotel work around Collier Row?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Collier Row homes and their sealant
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
