- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Lower Upham
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 kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Around Lower Upham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Lower Upham: your questions answered
Is Lower Upham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hedge End station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Lower Upham homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Hedge End station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What we are called out for in Lower Upham
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Lower Upham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
