How we handle bathroom resealing in Sandling
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and leaking joints on a shower screen.
For a small place like Sandling, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Sandling
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Sandling
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Sandling Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Maidstone East station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Common questions in Sandling
Can you do bathroom resealing in Sandling?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sandling is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Sandling?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Sandling and the rest of Kent.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Sandling, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
