About our bath resealing in Ufford
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ufford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we are called out for in Ufford
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlord and trade work in Ufford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths

Common questions in Ufford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Resealing in Ufford: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
