Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why East Lockinge customers choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in East Lockinge
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
East Lockinge: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your OX12 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
