How we handle bathroom resealing in Surrey Canal
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you’re dealing with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, we can put it right, on baths, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surrey Canal homes and their sealant
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Letting a property close to South Bermondsey station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ilderton Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In Surrey Canal, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When to call us in Surrey Canal
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally will not clean off.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
For an older house near a landmark such as St Katharine with St Bartholomew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Common questions in Surrey Canal
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Surrey Canal?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near South Bermondsey station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
What affects the quote in Surrey Canal
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
