Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shalden, Hampshire
Our technicians come to Shalden for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Shalden. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

Bath resealing at your home in Shalden
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shalden
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Shalden
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Your questions about bath resealing in Shalden
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shalden?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GU34 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Shalden?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shalden and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
