- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Ruislip
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Ruislip, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.

Ruislip: your questions answered
I let a flat near West Ruislip station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I live in a flat in Ruislip. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
What we are called out for in Ruislip
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Schools such as Warrender Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ruislip
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a flat in Ruislip, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, including the tidy-up. In a London area like Ruislip, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Bathroom resealing around Ruislip
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near West Ruislip station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you live in an older home near St Lawrence, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
