Bathroom resealing across SE25: what to expect
Across SE25, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for failed sealant on the screen profile and two layers of silicone, both failing, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks.
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
What affects the price in SE25
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why choose Mr Mastic
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Local landmarks in Selhurst
Around Selhurst, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Albion pub, St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy and Church of St Mark, among other places. Nearby too are South Norwood Recreation Ground (within half a mile south-west) and Harris Academy South Norwood (under half a mile north-west). Selhurst has its own railway station: Norwood Junction station. A little further out are Croydon University Hospital (1.7 miles south-west) and Crystal Palace Museum (1.4 miles north). For a walk, there’s Duppas Hill and Dulwich Upper Wood.
Bathrooms and kitchens across SE25
From Thornton Heath, Selhurst and South Norwood to its smaller places, homes across SE25 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in SE25, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Selhurst: As a London address, Selhurst can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Letting a property close to Norwood Junction station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Why it fails
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Questions from SE25
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in SE25?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Is white the only colour available?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
