About our bath resealing in Upper College
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Landlord and trade work in Upper College
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper College. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Your questions about bath resealing in Upper College
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Upper College. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How much does bath resealing cost in Upper College?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
