About our bath resealing in Great Oakley
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Great Oakley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Oakley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Great Oakley
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
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.
