- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath resealing in Mile Oak
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 resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mile Oak as everywhere else we work.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
