Bathroom resealing in BN1: how it works
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about leaking joints on a shower screen and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen and we leave things clean and tidy.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
What affects the price in BN1
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Bathroom resealing across BN1: local notes
Our bathroom resealing work across BN1 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in BN1 can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Brighton: In the older streets around St Martin's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to London Road (Brighton) station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Common problems we fix in BN1
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for BN1
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover BN1 and the rest of Brighton and Hove.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
