Bath resealing for Upton homes

Common problems we fix in Upton

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

Our hiring checklist

About our bath resealing in Upton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Upton: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Upton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Upton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide, so Upton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
