About our bath resealing in Ampney Crucis
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Ampney Crucis
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Resealing in Ampney Crucis: why it matters
