About our bath resealing in Portwood
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and unsealed corners.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Portwood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For a price in Portwood, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Landlord and trade work in Portwood
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stockport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Portwood
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
