How we handle bathroom resealing in Horseman Side
Across Horseman Side, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between the worktop and the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Being in a small place like Horseman Side makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Horseman Side as everywhere else we work.

What affects the quote in Horseman Side
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
FAQs for Horseman Side
I let a flat near Brentwood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Horseman Side in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Horseman Side is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Horseman Side, along with the rest of our area.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Common problems we fix in Horseman Side
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
In the older streets around Church of St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- How hidden problems are handled
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Horseman Side, 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.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
