Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Upton: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Upton?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE28 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Upton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cambridgeshire.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why it’s worth resealing in Upton

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
