How bathroom resealing works in SO18
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in SO18. Typical jobs include failed sealant on the screen profile and gaps between the worktop and the wall, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom and we leave things clean and tidy.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across SO18: local notes
From West End, Townhill Park and Midanbury to its smaller places, homes across SO18 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in SO18. SO18 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Townhill Park: For landlords with property near Swaythling station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like Townhill Junior School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Why deal with it now?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last.

Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
What we are called out for in SO18
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
SO18 questions
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
