Signs you need bath resealing in Upthorpe
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Upthorpe clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before you book
Read our prices page.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Questions from Upthorpe
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Gloucestershire.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
