Bathroom resealing in Trench Green
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We’re often asked to deal with water escaping at the shower enclosure and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Being in a small place like Trench Green makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Around Trench Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Trench Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- 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 business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Where is Mr Mastic based?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What we’re called out for in Trench Green
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret and Bardolf Aisle, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Trench Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
