When to call us in Woodcote
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Woodcote
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Woodcote 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. For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Woodcote, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What affects the quote in Woodcote
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.

Questions from Woodcote
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Goring & Streatley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Woodcote?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Leave it or put it right?
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, turning a small job into a building repair. Homes in smaller places like Woodcote can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
