Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hillyfields, Southampton
We travel to Hillyfields for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Hillyfields
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Hillyfields: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Common problems we fix in Hillyfields
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting

Landlord and trade work in Hillyfields
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hillyfields
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
