About our bath resealing in Upton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What else we do in Upton
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Questions from Upton
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Upton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Upton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you need bath resealing in Upton?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
