Bathroom resealing in Hackington
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you’re dealing with mouldy sealant that has gone black and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, we can help.
Homes around Hackington are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Hackington and everywhere else we cover.

Hackington homes and their sealant
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.
Homes close to Church of St Cosmus and St Damian include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like The Archbishop's School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hackington
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a small place like Hackington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Hackington
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We agree the colour with you first
- Colour picked to suit the job
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common problems we fix in Hackington
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
For landlords with property near Canterbury West station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
- When the joint can take water or movement
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
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. Resealing early stops it.

What else we do in Hackington
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Hackington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
