Bathroom resealing across WC1X: what to expect
Mr Mastic has more than 20 years’ experience of sealant work, and our applicators reseal bathrooms and kitchens across WC1X. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include two layers of silicone, both failing and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, across kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

What’s near Holborn
Typical jobs here are in homes near British Library of Political and Economic Science, City Academy and The Yorkshire Grey pub, among other places. Other local landmarks include St Alban's Church of England Primary School (less than half a mile east), Lincoln's Inn Fields (less than half a mile south-west), St Alban's Church (within half a mile east) and Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School (0.9 miles north). There’s a railway station in Holborn itself: Farringdon station. A little further out are Montfichet's Tower (0.7 miles south-east) and Brunswick Centre (0.5 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Barnsbury Wood and Ludgate Hill.
Bathrooms and kitchens across WC1X
In WC1X, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Holborn and Clerkenwell and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in WC1X is planned around the forecast.
Holborn: As a London address, Holborn can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For landlords with property near Farringdon station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Surface by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Landlords, agents and businesses in WC1X
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
For anyone letting property in or around WC1X, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work 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.

Why it fails
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Your questions about bathroom resealing in WC1X
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
