Bath resealing at your home in Oakthorpe
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Oakthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
