Questions from Headington Hill
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are there extra charges for Headington Hill?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Headington Hill
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Headington Hill
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Headington Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Headington Hill
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
