How bathroom resealing works in OX9

Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across OX9. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and water escaping at the shower enclosure.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

  1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
  2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
  3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

What affects the price in OX9

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Around Thame

Around Thame, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Barley Hill Primary School, Church of St Mary and Cross Keys Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.1 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Thame Museum (0.5 miles north-west) and Thame Community Hospital (less than half a mile south-east). Not far away are Snakemoor.

Bathrooms and kitchens across OX9

Our bathroom resealing work across OX9 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Thame, Tetsworth and Postcombe to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across OX9 is planned around the weather.

Thame: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barley Hill Primary School, 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. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • A tray or bath that is cracked through

Why it fails

Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
  • Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
  • Leaking joints on a shower screen
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

For landlords and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • The number and length of the joints
  • Access and height

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • The problem you’ve noticed

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

OX9 questions

Do you come to OX9?

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, OX9 included.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.

What does bathroom resealing cost?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.

Will it make a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Can I choose the colour of the sealant?

You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
