Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Lower Upham questions
How much does bath resealing cost in Lower Upham?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need bath resealing in Lower Upham?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Lower Upham. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lower Upham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
