What affects the price in Shillingford
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about bath resealing in Shillingford
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you need bath resealing in Shillingford?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically 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.
