Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hilsea, Portsmouth
We travel to Hilsea for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Bath resealing at your home in Hilsea
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Other services in Hilsea
Do you need bath resealing in Hilsea?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilsea
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Hilsea: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hilsea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
