Bath resealing in Porlock, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Porlock

Common questions in Porlock
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
