Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
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.
Bathroom resealing in Mackerye End: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Sauncey Wood Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Harpenden station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Mackerye End, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Questions from Mackerye End
Can you do bathroom resealing in Mackerye End?
Yes, Mackerye End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Mackerye End within the area you cover?
Yes, Mackerye End is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Why deal with it now?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. Around Mackerye End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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 will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Mackerye End?
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
