Holbury Bathroom Resealing
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing in Holbury, with a one-year guarantee on every job. Ask us for a quote.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Holbury
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath panel and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
In a smaller place like Holbury, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Holbury
Holbury is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Netley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Holbury is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. From the centre of Holbury to the outskirts, bathroom resealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Holbury is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We also work in Southampton, about 6 miles from Holbury.
Every address in SO45 is covered for bathroom resealing, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Beechwood Road, Park Hill Close and Pondhead Close, all of which we cover. Nearby, we also carry out bathroom resealing in Little Holbury (1 mile north-west), Roughdown (1 mile south), Hardley (1 mile north), Blackfield (1 mile south-east) and Langley (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Gosport (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (8 miles east), Totton (8 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
What’s near Holbury
We work in homes and buildings around The New Forest Academy, among other places. Holbury’s nearest station is Netley station, about 3.8 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (3.1 miles west) and Calshot Castle (3.4 miles east). The countryside around Holbury includes Mercury Marshes.
What we are called out for in Holbury
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cadland Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
Common questions in Holbury
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Netley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Holbury?
Yes. Holbury is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Holbury, along with the rest of our area.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What affects the quote in Holbury
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote

- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. A visit to Holbury is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

Landlord and commercial work in Holbury
If you manage several properties in or around Holbury, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Letting agents and landlords in Holbury can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. In a smaller place like Holbury, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
