Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Your questions about bath resealing in Oakham
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Oakham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Oakham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Do you need bath resealing in Oakham?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
