Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What affects the price in Upton
We charge the same across the UK, including Upton. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common questions in Upton
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work in Upton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upton and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we are called out for in Upton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
