Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Ickleton
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across Ickleton. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are splits where the tray meets the wall and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as Ickleton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Surface by surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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.
Ickleton homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Ickleton?
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead

Leave it or put it right?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. Around Ickleton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common questions in Ickleton
I let a flat near Great Chesterford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ickleton?
Yes. Ickleton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a village or hamlet like Ickleton, 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.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
