Bath resealing in Benson without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Benson
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant

Questions from Benson
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benson as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Resealing in Benson: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
