How we handle bath resealing in Claydon
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How the visit works
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 a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Claydon
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Claydon questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What we are called out for in Claydon
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
