Our applicators work in Lee Chapel on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Lee Chapel
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We are often asked to deal with damp behind the bath or under the tray and mouldy sealant that has gone black, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
In and around Lee Chapel, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Lee Chapel
Do you work for landlords with property near Basildon station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lee Chapel?
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.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Lee Chapel and the rest of Essex.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a smaller place like Lee Chapel, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What affects the quote in Lee Chapel
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
When to call us in Lee Chapel
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually will not clean off.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
If you live in an older home near St Martin of Tours, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Lee Chapel
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lee Chapel
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. Basildon, which Lee Chapel is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first.
Letting a property close to Basildon station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like St Anne Line Catholic Junior School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
