Bath resealing in Ulpha

How we handle bath resealing in Ulpha

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ulpha as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ulpha

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Ulpha customers choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ulpha use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Ulpha questions

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
