Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Upper Green, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Upper Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
FAQs for Upper Green
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you come to Upper Green?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Upper Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Common problems we fix in Upper Green
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
