Your questions about bathroom resealing in Shalden
Do you cover Shalden for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Shalden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Alton station?

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Shalden, along with the rest of our area.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
About our bathroom resealing in Shalden
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We’re often asked to deal with failed sealant on the screen profile and black spots spreading through the bead, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Shalden, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Shalden and everywhere else we cover.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a small place like Shalden, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Around Shalden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Shalden homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Alton station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant

Joints and surfaces we work on

- Baths

- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Move toiletries away from the joint
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.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Shalden?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
