About our bath resealing in Upton
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Upton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Upton
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
