What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing at your home in Ascott-under-Wychwood

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. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ascott-under-Wychwood and across Oxfordshire.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

Ascott-under-Wychwood: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ascott-under-Wychwood

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal

10 questions to ask before booking

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 generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
