How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

How we handle bath resealing in Upper Boat
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Boat as everywhere else we work.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath resealing in Upper Boat
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
