Bath resealing in Portishead without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What affects the price in Portishead

There’s no charge for travel to Portishead. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
