- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
How we handle bathroom resealing in Forton
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant that has gone black and failed sealant on the screen profile.
Even in a smaller place like Forton, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Forton
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. In a smaller place like Forton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Forton
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before you book anyone
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a job in Forton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Forton
Forton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Forton. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Portsmouth Harbour station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Questions from Forton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Forton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Forton and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Forton and across Hampshire. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
