About bathroom resealing in CO13

With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across CO13. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Near you in Kirby Cross

In Kirby Cross, that means homes and buildings near Tendring Technology College, St Mary Magdalene and The Ship pub, among other places. You’ll also find Frinton Park (0.6 miles east) and Frinton-on-Sea Primary School (under half a mile south). There’s a railway station in Kirby Cross itself: Frinton-On-Sea station. For a walk, there’s Great Holland Pits.

Bathrooms and kitchens across CO13

From Walton-on-the-Naze, Kirby Cross and Frinton-on-Sea to its smaller places, homes across CO13 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building, wherever it is in CO13. Along the coast in CO13, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Kirby Cross: For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary Magdalene, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Frinton-On-Sea station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in CO13

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The type of sealant required
  • Whether the work is at height

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Photos by email, if that is easy

We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When something else is needed

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Looking after it afterwards

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Wait for the cure time we give you
  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting

Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Why it fails

Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.

People generally contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Black spots spreading through the bead
  • Gaps between the worktop and the wall
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting

CO13: your questions answered

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Is white the only colour available?

White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.

Is it messy?

We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Can I do it myself?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
