Bath Resealing for Horspath homes
Our technicians come to Horspath for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
How we handle bath resealing in Horspath
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Horspath. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Horspath
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Horspath
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
