Bath resealing in Oakwood, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Oakwood
We do not charge extra for travel to Oakwood. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Oakwood and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
