Bath resealing at your home in Upperton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upperton as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Upperton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site

Your questions about bath resealing in Upperton
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Sussex.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Advice
What affects the price in Upperton
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upperton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
