Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Portway, Dorset
Our technicians come to Portway for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Portway
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Portway
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portway
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Portway, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.

How long will it take?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
