Sealant work in KT11

How bathroom resealing works in KT11

A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.

  1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
  2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Bathroom resealing across KT11: local notes

Homes across KT11 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Cobham, Oxshott and East Horsley. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in KT11, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.

Cobham: Managing a site like St Andrew's CofE Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Common problems we fix in KT11

Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Leaking joints on a shower screen
  • Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • Water getting behind the kitchen upstand

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods

Shower trays & enclosures

A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

How to look after the new joints

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
  • Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
  • Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant

Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.

Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

FAQs for KT11

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.

Can I choose the colour of the sealant?

Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured.

Do I need to be at home?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth trying it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
