Our bathroom resealing service in BN50
Homes in BN50 have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant that has gone black and gaps between the worktop and the wall, across sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is from start to finish.
- 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.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Bathrooms and kitchens across BN50
Across BN50, from Carlton Hill, Hanover and Brunswick outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in BN50 is planned around the forecast. In the coastal parts of BN50, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Carlton Hill: In the older streets around Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Carlton Hill Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
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.
What we’re called out for in BN50
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
Common questions in BN50
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work in BN50?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, BN50 included.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in BN50?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover BN50, along with the rest of our area.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
