How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Clean the silicone with care: 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 split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Bathroom resealing in Speenhamland
Homes in Speenhamland have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. Typical jobs include black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Even in a smaller place like Speenhamland, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Speenhamland, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
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.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Speenhamland
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Speenhamland. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around St Nicolas Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Speenhamland School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases. Parking around Speenhamland is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Will the old sealant be removed?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
