About our bathroom resealing in Longworth
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints on a shower screen and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Somewhere as small as Longworth, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we’re called out for in Longworth
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Which colour the sealant will be

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Longworth
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Longworth?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Longworth?
Yes, Longworth is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Longworth, along with the rest of our area.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Longworth, 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 cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
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.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
