Bathroom resealing in Baffins
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
Even in a smaller place like Baffins, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. A visit to Baffins is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Baffins homes and their sealant
Baffins is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Langstone Junior Academy? Then 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 Fratton station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Baffins is about 1 mile east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Baffins gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Baffins is one of 19 towns and villages in Portsmouth we cover.
Our applicators cover all of PO3, PO4 and PO2 for bathroom resealing and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Byron Road, James Road and Dover Road or a nearby road, we can help.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Baffins questions
I let a flat near Fratton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Baffins?
Yes, Baffins is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Baffins
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. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
In the older streets around Church of St Cuthbert, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
