Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Filchampstead, Oxfordshire

- Black spots in the silicone

- Gaps by the taps
Bath resealing in Filchampstead, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Filchampstead: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Other services in Filchampstead
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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 often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Filchampstead
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Filchampstead
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Filchampstead get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.

Preparing for the visit

- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
