How we handle bathroom resealing in Newchapel

With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Newchapel. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, we can put it right, on baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms alike.

In a village or hamlet like Newchapel, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Newchapel and across Surrey.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Keep the fan on for a while after bathing

In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.

A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Whether the work is at height
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

What to tell us for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • If someone has resealed it before

We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.

When to call us in Newchapel

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • Water getting behind the bath panel
  • Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt

Letting a property close to Dormans station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Are they insured?
  • What the cure time is
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not

10 questions to ask before you book

Different surfaces, different methods

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.

Basins & vanity units

A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.

Newchapel homes and their sealant

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Imberhorne School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?

Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Newchapel can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Why us?

  • Colour agreed with you before work begins
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work

The process

All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes 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 Newchapel, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
  2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
  3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Clear the area around the work
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

FAQs for Newchapel

Do you cover Newchapel for bathroom resealing?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Newchapel is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.

Do you work for landlords with property near Dormans station?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.

Can you just seal over the old silicone?

No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Does the resealing come with a guarantee?

Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?

Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

What do you put in the joint?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
