Bathroom resealing in SW1V: how it works

Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across SW1V. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms.

We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

  1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

What’s near Victoria

In Victoria, that means homes and buildings near Westminster City School, Westminster Cathedral Choir School and St. Michael's Church. Also close by are Green Park (0.6 miles north), St Peter's Eaton Square CofE Primary School (under half a mile north-west), London Library (0.9 miles north) and Wetherspoons pub (less than half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Victoria itself: London Victoria station. A little further out are Baynard's Castle (2.2 miles north-east) and Harrods (0.9 miles west). Not far away are Ludgate Hill and St. James's Park Lake.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SW1V

In SW1V, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from City of Westminster, Victoria and Westminster to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in SW1V, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Victoria: Letting a property close to London Victoria station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near St. Michael's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why act early?

A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • Whether you can choose the colour

Quotes for bathroom resealing in SW1V

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The type of sealant required
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

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 play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What we need to know

When you contact us, these details help:

  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

For bathroom resealing in SW1V, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

When it is not the sealant

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)

Landlords, agents and businesses in SW1V

If you manage several properties in or around SW1V, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.

Landlords and letting agents in SW1V can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

Looking after it afterwards

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
  • Do not let bottles sit on the bead
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet

Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.

Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

SW1V: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

When can I use the bath or shower again?

After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.

Are you insured?

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

Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?

Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
