Bathroom Resealing in Playden
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Playden? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Playden, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Bathroom resealing in Playden
Across Playden, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you are dealing with new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.
Somewhere as small as Playden, 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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Playden questions
I let a flat near Rye station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. 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.
Do you take on hotel work around Playden?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
Playden homes and their sealant
Playden is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Playden has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Schools such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Michael include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we’re called out for in Playden
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Letting a property close to Rye station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What the job involves on each surface
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 a neat, continuous bead matters.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
