Bath resealing in Charlton-on-Otmoor, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Signs you need bath resealing in Charlton-on-Otmoor

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlord and trade work in Charlton-on-Otmoor

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Charlton-on-Otmoor

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
