About our bathroom resealing in Charvil
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and smears of silicone across the tiles.
In and around Charvil, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Charvil
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Twyford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work in hotels near Charvil?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Charvil and the rest of Wokingham.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you cover Charvil?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not torn the first time it’s used.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Bathroom resealing around Charvil
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Charvil. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Homes close to St Patrick's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Twyford station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included from start to finish. Parking around Charvil is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Homes in smaller places like Charvil can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we’re called out for in Charvil
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Managing a site like Waingels College? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
