Bath resealing for Upwell homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

About our bath resealing in Upwell

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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

  • Damp near the bath

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upwell

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Upwell

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Upwell. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. 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 ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
