What bathroom resealing looks like in Old Basing
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Basingstoke station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. 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.
Old Basing is about 3 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Basing
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Around Old Basing, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Old Basing
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Schools such as Old Basing Infant School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
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.
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.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Old Basing, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

FAQs for Old Basing
Will you come out to Old Basing?
Yes, Old Basing 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.
Do you cover Old Basing for bathroom resealing?

Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
