  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

  • Basins & vanity units

About our bath resealing in Portsmouth

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Portsmouth

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why it’s worth resealing in Portsmouth

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Portsmouth

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for these signs:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Portsmouth

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
