Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Rownhams, Southampton
Bath resealing across Rownhams and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
Bath resealing in Rownhams without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and stained silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in Rownhams
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rownhams. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
