Bath resealing for Fingest homes

Bath resealing in Fingest, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fingest and across Oxfordshire.

Common questions in Fingest

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Fingest

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Why it’s worth resealing in Fingest

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our prices page.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
