Bath resealing at your home in Uplowman
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Uplowman
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Uplowman. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Uplowman: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Uplowman. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Common problems we fix in Uplowman
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you can’t clean out
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Resealing in Uplowman: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
