- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we handle bath resealing in Mapledurham
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mapledurham
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Mapledurham clients choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Same prices wherever you are
- Usually one visit, start to finish
Read our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Mapledurham. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work

Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
