  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How we handle bath resealing in Upcott

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are often asked to fix damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Upcott

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upcott

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Common questions in Upcott

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

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?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What we’re called out for in Upcott

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Resealing in Upcott: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Upcott clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
