Resealing and mastic work across Bexhill
Looking for a mastic man in Bexhill? Mr Mastic covers Bexhill-on-Sea and its neighbourhoods from our base in Crawley. Most of our work here is in bathrooms and kitchens: a bath seal that has turned black, a shower tray that has started to leak, or a worktop joint that has shrunk away from the tiles. We also renew mastic around windows, doors and conservatories that take the weather straight off the sea.
We keep it tidy and calm. We protect the area, cut out the old sealant completely, clean and dry the joint, and lay one smooth bead. Afterwards we explain how long to leave it before use and how to keep it clean, so you are not left guessing; our guide to looking after new sealant covers the first few weeks.
A late-Victorian resort that kept on growing
Bexhill began as a hilltop village, now the Old Town, with a history going back to a charter of 772. The resort by the sea came much later: the 7th Earl De La Warr built the first sea wall and laid out De La Warr Parade, the Sackville Hotel opened in 1890, and Bexhill became a borough in 1902. That late-Victorian and Edwardian core gives the town its large houses and mansion flats near the sea, many with bay windows and timber or replacement frames.
The town then spread outwards to Sidley in the north, Little Common, Collington and Cooden to the west, and Pebsham to the east, with newer homes still going up at sites such as Barnhorn Green. That means a wide spread of bathrooms, from older suites refitted more than once to modern showers whose builder sealant is already cracking. Where an older bath has been resealed over the top again and again, we take every layer back to clean tiles before starting. Our bath resealing page shows the steps.
The seafront also has a celebrated modernist building, the Grade I listed De La Warr Pavilion of 1935, and flat-roofed, steel-framed and rendered buildings like it need their joints kept sound against the weather.
Salt air, sunshine and damp bathrooms
Bexhill-on-Sea lies between Eastbourne and Hastings on one of the sunniest stretches of the English coast, facing the Channel. Strong sunshine and salty winds dry out the mastic on south-facing windows and patio doors until it shrinks and lets water in behind the frame. We use weather-resistant, flexible sealant outside and check sills as well as the frame edges.
Care homes, retirement flats and holiday lets
With a large retired population, Bexhill has many care homes, sheltered housing schemes and blocks of retirement flats. Their bathrooms and assisted wet rooms need hygienic, well-finished sealant that is easy to keep clean. We plan visits around residents’ routines and can quote for a single room or a programme across the building.
We also work for landlords, letting agents and owners of holiday lets along the coast, where a tired, discoloured seal is one of the first things a new tenant or guest notices, and for schools and colleges in the town, including resealing kitchens and washrooms during holidays when they are quiet.

Questions from Bexhill
Which parts of Bexhill do you cover?
All of Bexhill-on-Sea, including the Old Town, Sidley, Little Common, Collington, Cooden and Pebsham.
Can you explain the job on the phone before visiting?
Yes. Tell us what you can see and we will talk through what is involved and how long it should take.
My bath has been resealed several times. Do you remove all of the old layers?
Yes. Every layer comes off back to clean tile and enamel, because new silicone will not bond properly to old silicone.
Do you work in care homes and retirement flats?
Yes. We use anti-fungal products, work quietly and fit visits around residents and staff.
Why is the mastic on my sea-facing windows cracking?
Sun and salt wind dry sealant out until it shrinks and splits. We replace it with a flexible, weather-resistant sealant.
How should I look after the new sealant?
Leave it to cure for the time we give you, then dry it after use and clean it with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner.
Do you reseal holiday lets between bookings?
Yes. A turnaround day is often enough time, provided the shower can be left alone while the sealant cures.
