DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Is resealing worth it?
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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Portknockie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What else we do in Portknockie
Landlord and trade work in Portknockie
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When to call us in Portknockie

- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Your questions about bath resealing in Portknockie
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Portknockie is covered. Prices do not change with location.
