Bath resealing in Upchurch

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

How we handle bath resealing in Upchurch

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why it’s worth resealing in Upchurch

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Upchurch

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Upchurch. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upchurch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
