How we handle bath resealing in Uplawmoor

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Uplawmoor

There is no charge for travel to Uplawmoor. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures 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 will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Uplawmoor

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.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Are there extra charges for Uplawmoor?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
