Bath resealing in Heath End without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Heath End
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you come to Heath End?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Common problems we fix in Heath End
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges

- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
