About our bath resealing in Upper Midhope
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Resealing in Upper Midhope: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Upper Midhope. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Midhope
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
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.
Upper Midhope: your questions answered
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you need bath resealing in Upper Midhope?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:

- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
