Bathroom resealing in Woodham Mortimer
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Typical jobs include shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and mouldy sealant that has gone black, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
Being in a small place like Woodham Mortimer makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Woodham Mortimer
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near South Woodham Ferrers station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

When to call us in Woodham Mortimer
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How we quote for bathroom resealing
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Woodham Mortimer: your questions answered
Do you cover Woodham Mortimer for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Woodham Mortimer is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Woodham Mortimer?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
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. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Woodham Mortimer, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
