What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

What affects the price in Oxenholme

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Oxenholme

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Oxenholme

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Oxenholme

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
