Bath resealing for Oxcroft homes

Why it’s worth resealing in Oxcroft

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle bath resealing in Oxcroft

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and damp near the bath.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Oxcroft: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oxcroft as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Do you need bath resealing in Oxcroft?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Choosing a repair company

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
