Bathroom resealing in Hollingdean
Homes in Hollingdean have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. Common call-outs are for gaps between the worktop and the wall and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
In and around Hollingdean, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Hollingdean
Hollingdean is within about 2 miles 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Moulsecoomb station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hertford Infant and Nursery School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Richard's, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work. Parking around Hollingdean is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Why act early in Hollingdean
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Homes in smaller places like Hollingdean 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 guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What affects the quote in Hollingdean
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Hollingdean: your questions answered
I let a flat near Moulsecoomb station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Hollingdean?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Hollingdean?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
