Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Uppertown, Derbyshire
Bath resealing across Uppertown and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal

Bath resealing in Uppertown, done in place
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. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Uppertown
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Uppertown get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
