DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Upperton. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Upperton
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Upperton
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upperton
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Upperton
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath resealing cost in Upperton?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
