Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Drayton, Portsmouth
Our repair technicians come to Drayton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
About our bath resealing in Drayton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What else we do in Drayton
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Drayton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Common questions in Drayton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO6 postcode.
Do you work in Drayton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Drayton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of Portsmouth?
Across the UK, and that includes Drayton. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
When to call us in Drayton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
