Bath resealing at your home in Oaks Tye
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What else we do in Oaks Tye
What we’re called out for in Oaks Tye
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Oaks Tye
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
