Bath resealing near Gosport

About our bath resealing in Gosport

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gosport and across Hampshire.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Gosport

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gosport

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Gosport

Do you work in Gosport?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gosport from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What affects the price in Gosport

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gosport. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
