Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thorley Street, Isle of Wight
Bath resealing across Thorley Street and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Thorley Street
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you have black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
In a village like Thorley Street, walls and floors in older homes are rarely perfectly straight, which makes a neat, lasting seal more important.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. In an older home in a village like Thorley Street, replacing a bath or shower can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it. Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the bath resealing works exactly as anywhere else.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.
