Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in St Ives, Hampshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in St Ives. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Damp near the bath
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we handle bath resealing in St Ives
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for St Ives
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How much does bath resealing cost in St Ives?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Ives. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in St Ives
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
