About our bath resealing in Uplands
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Uplands
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What else we do in Uplands
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlord and trade work in Uplands
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Uplands
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
