- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Mead End
It isn’t only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you have gaps between the worktop and the wall and water getting behind the bath panel, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Mead End, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Mead End
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions from Mead End
Will you come out to Mead End?
Yes, Mead End is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Landlords and letting agents in Mead End can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Leave it or put it right?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Mead End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Mead End 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 cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
