- Mouldy sealant that has gone black

- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Fingest needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in Fingest
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
Somewhere as small as Fingest, 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.

Fingest questions
Do you cover Fingest for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Fingest is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Fingest?
Yes. Fingest is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
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 do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Fingest
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we are called out for in Fingest
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
Look out for these signs:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fingest can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fingest
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Fingest homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Cadmore End CofE School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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.
