Bath resealing near Portsea

Bath resealing in Portsea, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Portsea questions

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for Portsea?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Portsea and the rest of Portsmouth. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Portsea, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need bath resealing in Portsea?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant

What affects the price in Portsea

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
