What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Portchester. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When to call us in Portchester
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

FAQs for Portchester
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use 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’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Portchester
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
