Bathroom & kitchen resealing in West Hill, Brighton and Hove
Baths, showers and worktops in West Hill need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Should I try it myself first?
If you are 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
About our bathroom resealing in West Hill
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Smaller places like West Hill still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In an older home around West Hill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in West Hill
I let a flat near Brighton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to West Hill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do you need bathroom resealing in West Hill?
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Schools such as St Paul's CofE Primary School and Nursery are buildings too, and 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
What affects the quote in West Hill
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen in most cases. A visit to West Hill 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.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

What bathroom resealing looks like in West Hill
West Hill is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Brighton station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Galeed Strict Baptist Chapel, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
