When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
How we handle bath resealing in Portskerra
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
