Bath resealing at your home in Clifton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Resealing in Clifton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Clifton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Clifton questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Clifton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
