Bath resealing in Oakwood

Oakwood questions

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

About our bath resealing in Oakwood

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath resealing in Oakwood

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Oakwood

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 generally the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
