Signs you need bath resealing in Oldford
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath

Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Oldford
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common questions in Oldford
Do you cover Oldford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Oldford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Oldford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are there extra charges for Oldford?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Oldford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
