Bath Resealing for Aston Upthorpe homes

How we handle bath resealing in Aston Upthorpe
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Aston Upthorpe. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath resealing in Aston Upthorpe
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
