- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
How we handle bath resealing in Ouston
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ouston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Ouston: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ouston.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Common problems we fix in Ouston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Common reasons people in Ouston contact us are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty

- What preparation is included
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
