Bathroom resealing around Harvel

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.

In the older streets around Church of Our Lady of the Meadow, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Culverstone Green Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Harvel

A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and leaking joints on a shower screen.

Homes around Harvel are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we do, step by step

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Harvel, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Before we arrive

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice

When to call us in Harvel

Silicone does not last for ever. 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.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
  • Failed sealant on the screen profile
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead
  • Black spots spreading through the bead

If you let a flat or house near Sole Street station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • When the joint can take water or movement

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Harvel

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The number and length of the joints
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The product the joint needs

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Roughly how big the job is

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

How to look after the new joints

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
  • Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Dry worktop joints after washing up

In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.

A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

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.

When something else is needed

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:

  • A leaking waste, trap or valve
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Sinks & splashbacks

Harvel: your questions answered

Is Harvel within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sole Street station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Where are you based?

We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Is it messy?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

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. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

What sealant do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
