Bath resealing for Upperton homes

Bath resealing in Upperton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and stained silicone.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairs by material

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, to open the joint fully.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Upperton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.
