Bathroom resealing in Gerrards Cross

How we handle bathroom resealing in Gerrards Cross

Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Gerrards Cross. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.

In a smaller place like Gerrards Cross, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gerrards Cross and across Buckinghamshire.

Landlord and commercial work in Gerrards Cross

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Gerrards Cross: your questions answered

Is Gerrards Cross within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Gerrards Cross?

Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

How long before the new sealant can get wet?

The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

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.

Can tenants book the work?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Gerrards Cross?

No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Splits where the tray meets the wall
  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
  • Water escaping at the shower enclosure

In the older streets around St James Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What to look for in a quote

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • Whether VAT is included
  • How hidden problems are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

What the job involves on each surface

Wet rooms

Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.

Baths

The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
  • Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
  • Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use

Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

How it works

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work. In a smaller place like Gerrards Cross, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
  3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
  4. A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
  5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Gerrards Cross homes and their sealant

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Gerrards Cross. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Schools such as The Gerrards Cross CofE School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
