Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Shatterling
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Somewhere as small as Shatterling, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Shatterling, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Leave it or put it right?
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’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shatterling can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Shatterling questions
Can you do bathroom resealing in Shatterling?
Yes, Shatterling is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Shatterling?
Yes. Shatterling 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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Kent.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Shatterling homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Wingham Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Adisham station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Shatterling
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
