Bathroom resealing in W8: how it works
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath panel and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
How we quote
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Bathrooms and kitchens across W8
Homes across W8 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Kensington, Notting Hill and Holland Park. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across W8 is planned around the weather.
Holland Park: Schools such as Holland Park School are buildings too, and 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. For landlords with property near Kensington Olympia station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Why it fails
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting

FAQs for W8
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover W8.
What colours of sealant can you use?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you work in W8?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in W8, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
