Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Chilworth, Southampton
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Chilworth and across Southampton. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath resealing in Chilworth without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
FAQs for Chilworth
Do you come to Chilworth?
We do. We send a technician to Chilworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Why it’s worth resealing in Chilworth
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
