Bath Resealing in Upperby
Fixed-price bath resealing in Upperby and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Bath resealing at your home in Upperby
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Upperby
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Resealing in Upperby: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Your questions about bath resealing in Upperby
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you come to Upperby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Upperby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
