Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Forest Corner, Hampshire
Our repair technicians come to Forest Corner for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
How we handle bath resealing in Forest Corner
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Resealing in Forest Corner: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Forest Corner: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are there extra charges for Forest Corner?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What we are called out for in Forest Corner
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
