How we handle bath resealing in Uppermill
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.

FAQs for Uppermill
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Uppermill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Uppermill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When to call us in Uppermill
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
