Bath resealing for Bicester homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bicester

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Bath resealing at your home in Bicester

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Bicester. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Bicester

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
