Need bath resealing in Oliver's Battery?

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we handle bath resealing in Oliver's Battery

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath resealing in Oliver's Battery

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Oliver's Battery

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Oliver's Battery

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
