About our bath resealing in Upwey
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need bath resealing in Upwey?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why it’s worth resealing in Upwey
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
