Bath resealing for Portmead homes

How we handle bath resealing in Portmead

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we are called out for in Portmead

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Portmead

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

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

Are there extra charges for Portmead?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What affects the price in Portmead

We charge the same across the UK, including Portmead. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Portmead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it 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 about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

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