- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Bathroom resealing in Ley Green
Across Ley Green, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you have splits where the tray meets the wall and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can put it right, on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
For a small place like Ley Green, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Ley Green
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Rented homes near Hitchin station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Ley Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Advice
Bathroom resealing around Ley Green
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Preston Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why act early in Ley Green
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ley Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Ley Green
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

- A choice of colours where the product allows
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
