Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Westridge, Isle of Wight
Bath resealing in and around Westridge: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Westridge without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Do you need bath resealing in Westridge?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Westridge. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Westridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Westridge questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Westridge and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
