Hensting Bathroom Resealing

- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Bathroom resealing in Hensting
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and the jobs we see most are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
In a village or hamlet like Hensting, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hensting and across Hampshire. Several sites can be quoted together.
Common problems we fix in Hensting
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Hensting
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Shawford station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Hensting, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Common questions in Hensting
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shawford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Hensting within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is white the only colour available?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
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?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Hensting?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
