Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Oaklands: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Oaklands?

We do. We send a technician to Oaklands for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Oaklands is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Common problems we fix in Oaklands

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Oaklands. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
