Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Botley, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Botley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Bath resealing in Botley without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Common problems we fix in Botley
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Botley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
