Bath resealing at your home in Fawley
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Fawley
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath resealing cost in Fawley?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Fawley
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fawley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
