Trusted bath resealing in Lewknor

Bath resealing in Lewknor without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lewknor and across Oxfordshire.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lewknor

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Lewknor

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Lewknor. Prices do not change with location.

Do you cover Lewknor?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lewknor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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.

When to call us in Lewknor

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
