What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Oakwood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath resealing in Oakwood, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Oakwood
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Oakwood?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Oakwood, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
