Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shellingford, Oxfordshire
Bath resealing in Shellingford without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Bath resealing at your home in Shellingford
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Common questions in Shellingford
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SN7 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
