Bath resealing in Portfield, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Portfield

Landlord and trade work in Portfield
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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Portfield. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Resealing in Portfield: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
