Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Staplers, Isle of Wight
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Staplers, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Baths

How we handle bath resealing in Staplers
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Where we work around Staplers
Staplers is about 1 mile east of Newport, in Isle of Wight. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Staplers is one of 125 places in Isle of Wight where we work. We work right across the region, from Staplers to London (75 miles away).
Our visits in PO30 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From Pan Lane, Ash Road and Mews Lane or a nearby road, we can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Barton (1 mile west), Cross Lane (1 mile north-west), Fairlee (1 mile north-west), Hillgrove (1 mile north-east) and Wootton (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Ryde (5 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (6 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south) and East Cowes (4 miles north). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in Staplers
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
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.

When to call us in Staplers
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
Staplers: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
