Bath resealing at your home in Bletchingdon
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Bletchingdon
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
