Bath resealing in Uplands without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Do you need bath resealing in Uplands?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
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 quote, not a guess.
Resealing in Uplands: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

Uplands questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
