- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Rake, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

About our bathroom resealing in Rake
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant on the screen profile and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
Homes around Rake are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Rake
Do you take on hotel work around Rake?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Will you come out to Rake?
Yes. Rake 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.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not torn the first time it’s used.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Rake homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Rake. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Liss station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to Rake Mission Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For bathroom resealing in Rake, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Why act early in Rake
Sorting it now is quick: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rake, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we are called out for in Rake
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Schools such as Rake CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
