Mastic man in Walton-on-Thames

Sealant jobs we do in Walton-on-Thames

Walton-on-Thames is a riverside town in Elmbridge with a long Thames frontage, a busy station and a lot of comfortable suburban housing. Mr Mastic covers Walton and neighbouring Hersham from our base in Crawley, renewing sealant around baths, showers, basins and worktops, and resealing windows, doors and outside joints.

It’s easy to put resealing off until the line has turned black, but sealant has a working life like anything else. Our guide to how long silicone sealant lasts explains what shortens it and when to replace it. When we do, we take the whole of the old bead out, clean and dry the joint, and lay a fresh line in a sealant suited to the room.

A railway town that kept growing

The railway shaped Walton. Between 1851 and 1911 the population rose from about 4,100 to more than 19,000, and many of the Victorian and Edwardian houses near the station and the town centre date from that time. Twentieth-century suburban roads then filled in around them. More recently, The Heart replaced the 1960s town centre with a shopping mall and 279 apartments overlooking Ashley Park.

The older houses often have bathrooms that have been refitted more than once, sometimes with new silicone run over old. That never holds, and mould grows in the layer between. Baths in these homes can also drop slightly when filled, which pulls a stiff bead away from the tiles. We cut out every layer and reseal with the bath full of water. Our bath resealing page covers the process.

South of the railway, Burwood Park in Hersham is a private estate laid out from the late 1920s on a former royal deer park, now with large detached houses and later infill homes. Bigger homes like these, and the apartments in town, bring walk-in showers, en-suites and sometimes wet rooms, where a sound seal at the floor and wall junctions is what stops water escaping. Our wet room sealing service is set up for exactly that.
