Bath resealing in Portstewart, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Portstewart. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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, with the joint fully dried first.

Questions from Portstewart
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Portstewart included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
