Your local mastic man for Cranleigh
Cranleigh is a large village in the Borough of Waverley, about eight miles south-east of Guildford, with a busy High Street, a wide common and Ewhurst just across its eastern boundary. Mr Mastic covers the whole village and the hamlets around it from our base in Crawley. We reseal baths, showers, toilet bases and basins, renew kitchen worktop joints and replace the mastic around windows and doors.
When a bath seal keeps failing, it is often because the bath moves. An acrylic bath dips when it’s filled and stands up again when it’s empty, and a stiff bead tears along the top. We fill the bath before sealing so the joint is laid at its heaviest, and we use flexible sanitary silicone. Our bath resealing page explains the full process.
Victorian estate roads, village houses and newer homes
Cranleigh’s growth took off in the Victorian period. The railway arrived in 1865 and Cranleigh School opened the same year. In 1894, Stephen Rowland laid out an estate with New Park Road, Avenue Road, Mead Road, Mount Road and Bridge Road, which still form a large part of the village’s older housing. The station closed in 1965 and was replaced by the Stocklund Square development, part of which was later rebuilt for a supermarket.
Most homes here are houses rather than flats. In the 2011 census, the parish had more than 2,000 detached homes, over 1,100 semis, nearly 700 terraced houses and around 880 flats, and more than 43% of households owned their home outright. That means many long-term owners whose bathrooms and kitchens were fitted years ago and whose sealant is now tired, and many family homes with an en-suite and a cloakroom as well as the main bathroom.
Toilet bases are a joint people often forget. Where the pan meets the floor, sealant stops splashes getting under it and hides gaps on uneven floors; once it discolours or lifts, it is worth renewing. Our toilet base resealing page covers this.
Spread-out homes, cottages and new estates
Cranleigh is spread out, with homes along the High Street, around the common and down lanes towards smaller settlements such as Baynards, which has fewer than 20 buildings. Older cottages and Victorian houses have walls and frames that move with the seasons, so outside we use flexible, weatherproof sealants and backing rod where gaps are deep. In newer homes on the edges of the village, the first years often bring cracked shower and bath seals as the building settles.
After any reseal, how you look after the joint in its first days makes a real difference. Our guide to looking after new sealant explains how long to leave it and how to keep it clean.
High Street businesses, schools and care
The High Street and Fountain Square are lined with shops, cafés and offices, many with small staff washrooms and kitchens that need resealing now and again. Cranleigh School, the independent boarding school founded in 1865, has boarding bathrooms and changing rooms that see heavy use, and holiday working can be arranged for education jobs.
The village was home to the country’s first cottage hospital, founded in 1859, and in any healthcare or care setting, hygienic, well-kept seals matter. We also reseal for landlords and agents letting houses and flats in the village, between tenancies or when tenants report a problem.

Questions from Cranleigh
Do you cover all of Cranleigh?
Yes. We cover the whole village, including the High Street, the common and the Victorian estate roads, plus Ewhurst, Baynards and the surrounding countryside.
Why does my bath sealant keep cracking along the top?
Usually the bath moves when it’s filled. We seal it full, so the bead is laid at its heaviest, using flexible sanitary silicone.
Can you reseal around the base of a toilet?
Yes. We remove the old sealant, clean the floor and pan, and apply a neat new bead in white or a colour to suit.
We have three bathrooms. Can you do them all in one visit?
Usually, yes. We’ll plan the order so you always have one you can use.
Can you replace the mastic around windows on an older cottage?
Yes. We cut out the old mastic and use a flexible, weatherproof sealant that can cope with seasonal movement.
Do you work in schools during the holidays?
Yes. Holiday and out-of-hours working can be arranged for education and commercial jobs.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually after about 24 hours. We’ll confirm the cure time for the product used before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
