About our bath resealing in Upper Race
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Race
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why it’s worth resealing in Upper Race
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Questions from Upper Race
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long will it take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
