About our bathroom resealing in Gallows Corner

Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Gallows Corner. If you have a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Gallows Corner are no different.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Gallows Corner
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Gallows Corner is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as Royal Liberty School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Failed grout lines across the wall

Common problems we fix in Gallows Corner
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Homes close to St Michael and All Angels Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a job in Gallows Corner, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Gallows Corner: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Gidea Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I live in a flat in Gallows Corner. 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 remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Gallows Corner.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
