What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Up Somborne

What we are called out for in Up Somborne

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Up Somborne: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Up Somborne: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Up Somborne?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Up Somborne?

We do. Technicians travel to Up Somborne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
