About our bathroom resealing in Stone
Homes in Stone 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. We’re often asked to deal with shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Homes around Stone are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
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.

Why act early in Stone
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. In a small place like Stone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Bathroom resealing around Stone
Stone is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Around Stone, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere like Stone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Stone?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Questions from Stone
Do you cover smaller places like Stone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is bathroom resealing in Stone guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Stone, along with the rest of our area.
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.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
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.
