Trusted bath resealing in Nupdown

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Nupdown

Do you work in Nupdown?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nupdown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Nupdown?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you need bath resealing in Nupdown?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nupdown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
