Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Frilford Heath

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When to call us in Frilford Heath

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Look out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
