Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Nettlecombe, Isle of Wight
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Nettlecombe, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- Mould you cannot clean out
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we handle bath resealing in Nettlecombe
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
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 over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Nettlecombe
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day

Nettlecombe questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Nettlecombe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Nettlecombe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
