Bath Resealing for Porchfield homes
Bath resealing in and around Porchfield: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we handle bath resealing in Porchfield
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
