How we handle bath resealing in Oakley
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically 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.

Oakley: your questions answered
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Oakley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
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.
What affects the price in Oakley
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we’re called out for in Oakley
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
