Bath resealing in Fair Oak, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we are called out for in Fair Oak
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty

FAQs for Fair Oak
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Fair Oak?
We do. We send a technician to Fair Oak for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Fair Oak
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Fair Oak
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Resealing in Fair Oak: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
