Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Upham, Devon
Local bath resealing for Upham: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath resealing in Upham, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Upham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Upham: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Do you need bath resealing in Upham?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Shower trays & enclosures
