Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ashurst Bridge, Hampshire
Bath resealing for Ashurst Bridge, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath resealing in Ashurst Bridge
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO40 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Ashurst Bridge
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common problems we fix in Ashurst Bridge
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
