Bath resealing in Oakhill, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Oakhill

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Oakhill

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for these signs:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
