- Unsealed corners
How we handle bath resealing in Upton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
What affects the price in Upton
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Upton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
Upton: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Resealing in Upton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
