Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Pondwell, Isle of Wight
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Pondwell, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle bath resealing in Pondwell
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Pondwell
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pondwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pondwell
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
