Bath resealing in Uphill, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Other services in Uphill
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Uphill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Uphill
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Uphill contact us include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site

Uphill: your questions answered
Do you cover Uphill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Uphill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS23 postcode.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What affects the price in Uphill
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
