Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Skinner's Hill, Isle of Wight
Bath resealing for Skinner's Hill, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing in Skinner's Hill, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Skinner's Hill
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
