Bathroom Resealing in Kidlington
We cover Kidlington for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Bathroom resealing in Kidlington
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are smears of silicone across the tiles and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Even in a smaller place like Kidlington, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower for a typical job. In a smaller place like Kidlington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. 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, including the film left on the tiles.
- 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.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Kidlington questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Kidlington?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kidlington
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kidlington
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Kidlington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Bathroom resealing in Kidlington: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Kidlington. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
When to call us in Kidlington
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
