How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Bath resealing in Upperthong without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

Do you need bath resealing in Upperthong?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Upperthong

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Upperthong

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
