Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Bath resealing in Portfield, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Portfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath resealing in Portfield?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Portfield
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Portfield?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
