Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Basingstoke, Hampshire
Local bath resealing for Basingstoke: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
When to call us in Basingstoke
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
About our bath resealing in Basingstoke
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Why it’s worth resealing in Basingstoke
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about bath resealing in Basingstoke
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
