About our bath resealing in Oakbank
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath resealing in Oakbank
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Common problems we fix in Oakbank
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Perth and Kinross and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What else we do in Oakbank
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
