Need bath resealing in Upton?

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Bath resealing in Upton without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Upton

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

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.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Upton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
