Bath resealing in Oakington without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Oakington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 generally cheaper.
Questions from Oakington
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Oakington. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
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. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
