What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Bathroom resealing in Guston
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you have smears of silicone across the tiles and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
Somewhere as small as Guston, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Guston
Guston is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Letting a property close to Martin Mill station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Duke of York's Royal Military School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Guston, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Guston
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
If you live in an older home near Church of St Martin of Tours, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Guston: your questions answered
Is Guston within the area you cover?
Yes, Guston is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Guston in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Guston is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You will know how long to expect before work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

What else we do in Guston
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
