Bathrooms and kitchens in Maypole
Maypole is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Hoath Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Maypole is about 2 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Whether you are in the middle of Maypole or further out, bathroom resealing is available for homes and businesses alike. Maypole is one of 922 places in Kent where we work for bathroom resealing. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, roughly 40 miles from Maypole.
We work across the CT3 postcode area for bathroom resealing and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Maypole Lane and Maypole Road, all of which we cover.

About our bathroom resealing in Maypole
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include a reseal done over the top of the old bead and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Being in a small place like Maypole makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Maypole questions
Is Maypole in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Maypole is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
Allow two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why act early in Maypole
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Maypole, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Maypole clients choose us

- A choice of colours where the product allows
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Small signs come before a leak: 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.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Can I do it myself?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Maypole?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Homes close to Church of the Holy Cross include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job 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. Somewhere like Maypole 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.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
