Bath resealing in Portessie, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Resealing in Portessie: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Take a look at our full price list.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Portessie. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Your questions about bath resealing in Portessie
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Portessie.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When to call us in Portessie
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
