Common problems we fix in Upgate

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Bath resealing in Upgate, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Upgate and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Upgate questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work in Upgate?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upgate. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Upgate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. 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.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
