About our bathroom resealing in Further Quarter
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for leaking joints on a shower screen and gaps between the worktop and the wall, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths.
Somewhere as small as Further Quarter, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Further Quarter?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The most common problems we see are:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Around Further Quarter, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Is Further Quarter in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Further Quarter is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Further Quarter?
We don’t 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. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.

Older cottages and farmhouses around Further Quarter can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
