Bath resealing for Portway homes

Bath resealing in Portway without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Portway, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Resealing in Portway: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
