Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Old Romney
Across Old Romney, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are splits where the tray meets the wall and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Somewhere as small as Old Romney, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not torn the first time it’s used.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line does not stand out.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Old Romney: your questions answered
Is Old Romney within the area you cover?
Yes. Old Romney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Old Romney homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Homes close to Church of St Clement include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Old Romney
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Marsh Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Old Romney, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
