How we handle bath resealing in Upper Midway
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Midway use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Upper Midway
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Midway. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
