- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Bathroom resealing in Shelvin
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you are dealing with splits where the tray meets the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and sinks & splashbacks alike.
Homes around Shelvin are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Why deal with it now?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shelvin can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Shelvin: your questions answered
I let a flat near Shepherds Well station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Shelvin?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Shelvin and the rest of Kent.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Shelvin, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What we are called out for in Shelvin
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
The most common problems we see are:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the bath panel
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
