When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

See our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Oare
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Oare?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Oare and the rest of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
