How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we handle bath resealing in Oaken

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 regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

What affects the price in Oaken

There’s no charge for travel to Oaken. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Oaken questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When to call us in Oaken

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
