- Failed sealant on the screen profile
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
About our bathroom resealing in Westcot
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Typical jobs include shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and smears of silicone across the tiles, on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Somewhere as small as Westcot, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

If you look after a building such as The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Westcot?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Rood, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions from Westcot
Do you cover Westcot for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Westcot is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Westcot?
All our work, in Westcot and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Westcot?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not torn the first time it’s used.

Leave it or put it right?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westcot, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Westcot needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
