Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Thorrington and across Essex. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
How we handle bathroom resealing in Thorrington
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you are dealing with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
Somewhere as small as Thorrington, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Thorrington, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Thorrington questions
Do you cover smaller places like Thorrington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Great Bentley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Thorrington.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
What we’re called out for in Thorrington
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Rented homes near Great Bentley station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?
Why act early in Thorrington
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Thorrington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

Thorrington homes and their sealant
Thorrington is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Colne Community School and College? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary Magdelene, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
