Bathroom resealing in Soldridge
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. If you are dealing with mouldy sealant that has gone black and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can put it right.
For a small place like Soldridge, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
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, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line does not stand out.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Soldridge, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Soldridge
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Homes close to Church of the Good Shepherd include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Soldridge for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Soldridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
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.
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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Soldridge and the rest of Hampshire.
Why act early in Soldridge
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Soldridge can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.
