Common questions in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we are called out for in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
