Bathrooms and kitchens in Shalmsford Street
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up 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 Chartham station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Chartham Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Bathroom resealing in Shalmsford Street, done properly
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black spots spreading through the bead.
Even in a smaller place like Shalmsford Street, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Why act early in Shalmsford Street
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In an older home around Shalmsford Street, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Common questions in Shalmsford Street
Do you cover smaller places like Shalmsford Street?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Shalmsford Street for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shalmsford Street is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a smaller place like Shalmsford Street, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What affects the quote in Shalmsford Street
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few photos by email, if you can
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
