Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Bath resealing in Oakfordbridge, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Oakfordbridge
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Oakfordbridge
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Oakfordbridge questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How much does bath resealing cost in Oakfordbridge?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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, so the joint is at its widest.
