Bath resealing in Fifield, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fifield and across Oxfordshire.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Fifield questions
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When to call us in Fifield
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Why reseal now?

What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
