How we handle bathroom resealing in Ventnor
Across Ventnor, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath panel and leaking joints on a shower screen.
In and around Ventnor, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

What else we do in Ventnor
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Ventnor, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What we are called out for in Ventnor
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
If you look after a building such as St Catherine's School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on how much there is to do. Parking around Ventnor is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Common questions in Ventnor
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shanklin station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ventnor?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Ventnor and the rest of the Isle of Wight, along with the rest of our area.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

- Sinks & splashbacks

Bathroom resealing in Ventnor: local notes
Ventnor 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Catherine's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Shanklin station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How the job changes by surface

Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
