How we handle bathroom resealing in Lexden
Homes in Lexden have the same weak spots as anywhere else: 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 work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about splits where the tray meets the wall and smears of silicone across the tiles.
Homes around Lexden range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Lexden: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lexden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Lexden?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You’ll know how long to expect before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Lexden.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Lexden homes and their sealant
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lexden. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Colchester station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Philip Morant School and College are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
What we’re called out for in Lexden
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before you book anyone
- How long to leave it before use

- Whether they’re fully insured
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lexden
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Lexden is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
