Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hythe, Hampshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Hythe and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Hythe
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Resealing in Hythe: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hythe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs

You’ll get the curing time from us.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
