About our bath resealing in North Oxford
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

FAQs for North Oxford
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Oxford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
