Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Upton
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Southampton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
