About our bath resealing in Port Navas

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Port Navas

There is no area surcharge for Port Navas. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in Port Navas

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Port Navas

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Port Navas, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Resealing in Port Navas: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Port Navas

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How do I book?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

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. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
