Bath resealing in Upton, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Upton
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DA6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Advice
Signs you need bath resealing in Upton
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Upton
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
