About our bath resealing in Bodicote

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bodicote as everywhere else we work.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Bodicote, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Bodicote: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Bodicote included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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