Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Port Marine: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Port Marine?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Port Marine. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Port Marine. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Landlord and trade work in Port Marine

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Marine as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
