Bath resealing in Five Oaks, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Five Oaks as everywhere else we work.

Five Oaks: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Read our prices page.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Five Oaks, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled 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.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
