How we handle bath resealing in Oakerthorpe
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Oakerthorpe
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE55 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Oakerthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
