Bath resealing near Portway

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 keep water out. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Portway. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Portway, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Portway: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you cover the whole of Worcestershire?

We cover the entire UK, including Portway and the rest of Worcestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Portway

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

Common problems we fix in Portway

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
