Bath resealing at your home in Upton Cross
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upton Cross as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton Cross
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton Cross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Upton Cross
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Questions from Upton Cross
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What affects the price in Upton Cross
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
