Bath Resealing in Upper Loads
Our technicians come to Upper Loads for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Upper Loads without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Upper Loads and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Upper Loads
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
