About our bathroom resealing in Hempstead
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Common call-outs are for water escaping at the shower enclosure and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Homes around Hempstead range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
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.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Hempstead
Hempstead 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. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Hempstead Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Hempstead is about 2 miles south of Gillingham, in Medway. Anywhere in ME7, we cover bathroom resealing for homes and businesses. Across Medway, we cover 68 places, Hempstead among them. You can also see our page for Chelmsford, roughly 27 miles from Hempstead.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. In a smaller place like Hempstead, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hempstead
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hempstead and across Medway. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
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.
Hempstead: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hempstead?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. A visit to Hempstead is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What we are called out for in Hempstead
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
If you let a flat or house near Rainham (Kent) station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
