- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like East Shalford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bathroom resealing in East Shalford, done properly
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across East Shalford. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Somewhere as small as East Shalford, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in East Shalford
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Schools such as Tillingbourne Junior School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if the job turns out different

What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Shalford can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

East Shalford: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Shalford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do bathroom resealing in East Shalford?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and East Shalford is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What affects the quote in East Shalford
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
What bathroom resealing looks like in East Shalford
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Shalford station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
