Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Oakamoor, Staffordshire
Our repair technicians come to Oakamoor for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Oakamoor
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Oakamoor
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you work in Oakamoor?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oakamoor for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does bath resealing cost in Oakamoor?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When to call us in Oakamoor
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 normally contact us about:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Oakamoor. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Oakamoor get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
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.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
