Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Your questions about bath resealing in Oxton
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are there extra charges for Oxton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oxton
If you manage property in Oxton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
