Bath resealing in Oving, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Oving

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Oving, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Oving. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Oving questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Why it’s worth resealing in Oving

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
