Riseden 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.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

About our bathroom resealing in Riseden
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black spots spreading through the bead, we can put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures alike.
In a village or hamlet like Riseden, 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.
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.

Riseden: your questions answered
Will you come out to Riseden?
Yes. Riseden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Riseden?
All our work, in Riseden and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Riseden and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.

When to call us in Riseden
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Around Riseden, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether you can choose the colour
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
What affects the quote in Riseden
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
If you’re in Riseden and need bathroom resealing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like Riseden needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Riseden
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
