Bath resealing in Headington, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Headington
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Headington

- Black mould in the sealant
