Bath resealing in Portslade, done in place
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, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Portslade questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you need bath resealing in Portslade?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal

Resealing in Portslade: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
