Bath resealing in Uppend without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Uppend questions

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Uppend. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Uppend, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Uppend

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Uppend get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
