Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Blackgang, Isle of Wight
Fixed-price bath resealing in Blackgang and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Blackgang
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Blackgang
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Blackgang
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Blackgang, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What affects the price in Blackgang
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath resealing in Blackgang
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
