Common questions in Fratton
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Bath resealing in Fratton without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Fratton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Fratton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Fratton
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
For a price in Fratton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
