Bath Resealing in Cumnor
Our technicians come to Cumnor for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we handle bath resealing in Cumnor
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. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Here we cover the OX2 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, The Park and The Winnyards and the roads around them. We also travel to Chawley (1 mile north-east), Filchampstead (1 mile north-west), Henwood (1 mile south-east), Dean Court (2 miles north-east) and Botley (2 miles north-east).

Landmarks near Cumnor
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Vine Inn, Matthew Arnold School and Church of St Michael. The nearest railway station is Oxford station, roughly 3.1 miles north-east. A little further out are Westgate Shopping Centre (3.3 miles north-east) and Radcliffe Infirmary (3.6 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Lashford Lane Fen and Cumnor Hill.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Cumnor questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
