Bath resealing at your home in Lisbon

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.

Lisbon: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lisbon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lisbon

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
