About our bath resealing in Upton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Your questions about bath resealing in Upton
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Slough?
We cover the entire UK, including Upton and the rest of Slough. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you need bath resealing in Upton?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What affects the price in Upton
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Upton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What else we do in Upton
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
