Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hampstead Norreys, West Berkshire
Bath resealing across Hampstead Norreys and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing at your home in Hampstead Norreys
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Hampstead Norreys
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Hampstead Norreys questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hampstead Norreys
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
