Trusted bath resealing in Portland

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Portland

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors.

We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Portland

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in Portland?

We do. We send a technician to Portland for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Across the UK, so Portland is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Common problems we fix in Portland

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
