Bath resealing in Portinscale without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Why it’s worth resealing in Portinscale
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

FAQs for Portinscale
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CA12 postcode.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
