Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Andover Down, Hampshire
Our repair technicians come to Andover Down for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle bath resealing in Andover Down
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Andover Down
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?

Sinks and worktops

Signs you need bath resealing in Andover Down
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
