Bathroom Resealing in Fern
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Fern? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Fern
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots spreading through the bead and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
Somewhere as small as Fern, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Fern
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Managing a site like Little Marlow CofE School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
Fern homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Bourne End station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Other services in Fern
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Fern, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Fern: your questions answered
I let a flat near Bourne End station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Fern in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Fern is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fern, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Fern
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Full insurance on every job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
