About our bathroom resealing in South Malling
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Typical jobs include new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
Around South Malling, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Homes in smaller places like South Malling can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
FAQs for South Malling
Do you work for landlords with property near Lewes station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work in hotels near South Malling?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. A visit to South Malling is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

South Malling homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around South Malling. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Malling CofE Primary and Nursery School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Lewes station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
