The Cost of a Mastic Man: What You Need to Know

What Does a Mastic Man Do?

A mastic man (also called a silicone applicator) is a skilled professional who applies silicone sealant neatly and effectively around baths, showers, sinks, kitchens, floors, windows, and more. The right application keeps water out, stops mould from forming, and gives your space a clean, sharp finish.

Poorly applied sealant can ruin the look of a brand new bathroom or kitchen, and worse a bad seal can lead to leaks, damp patches, or even ceiling damage below. That’s why the cost of hiring a professional is far cheaper than paying for water damage repairs later.

What Affects the Cost?

The cost of hiring a mastic man isn’t one-size-fits-all. Prices vary depending on:

• The size of the job – sealing a small basin costs far less than resealing an entire bathroom.

• Preparation required – old sealant removal, cleaning, and drying adds time and cost.

• Sealant type – higher-quality silicone with anti-mould protection lasts longer.

• Job complexity – non-standard tiles, vertical joints, mosaics, or tricky corners cost more.

• Location – costs can vary depending on where you live and travel requirements.

Typical Mastic Man Prices

From reviewing industry prices, here’s what you can expect:

• Small jobs (like a basin, kitchen sink, or short bath edge): from around £45–£75.

• Medium jobs (like a shower tray or a couple of bathroom edges): £75–£125.

• Full bathrooms: often £225–£355 depending on whether the old sealant needs removing.

• Specialist jobs (large showers, full reseals, or non-standard finishes): from £180+.

💡 At Neatly Done, a shower tray removal and reseal typically starts from £130.

Why Quality Matters More Than Price

While it may be tempting to go for the cheapest option, it’s worth remembering:

• Cheap sealant or poor workmanship can fail quickly.

• A bad seal ruins the look of expensive tiles, baths, or kitchens.

• Water leaks can cause hundreds or even thousands of pounds in repair bills.

Choosing a professional like Neatly Done ensures your sealing is hygienic, watertight, and finished with precision.
