Trusted bath resealing in Port Clarence

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Bath resealing in Port Clarence, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Port Clarence

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Port Clarence, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Port Clarence get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Port Clarence

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Port Clarence questions

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you come to Port Clarence?

We do. Technicians travel to Port Clarence from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover the entire of Stockton-on-Tees?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
