Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Hinksey Hill 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. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Do you need bath resealing in Hinksey Hill?
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hinksey Hill
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
