Bath resealing at your home in Portobello
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portobello
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
When to call us in Portobello
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Portobello questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Wolverhampton, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
