- Stained silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Oakridge
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Common problems we fix in Oakridge
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakridge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Oakridge
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Oakridge
We don’t charge extra for travel to Oakridge. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Oakridge, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.

Getting ready for the visit
