Bath Resealing for Lower Upnor homes
Bath resealing in and around Lower Upnor: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath resealing at your home in Lower Upnor
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lower Upnor and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Lower Upnor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Lower Upnor. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Upnor
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Medway. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Lower Upnor?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lower Upnor and the rest of Medway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ME2 postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
