FAQs for Upton
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Bath resealing in Upton without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upton as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Upton
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Look out for any of the following:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

What affects the price in Upton
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
