How we handle bath resealing in Fyfield
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Signs you need bath resealing in Fyfield
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

- Silicone coming away from the tiles

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Your questions about bath resealing in Fyfield
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fyfield use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
