Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Upton, Cumbria
Bath resealing across Upton and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath resealing in Upton, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Upton
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Resealing in Upton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Questions from Upton
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
