Bath resealing in Shilton without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, so the joint is at its widest.
Questions from Shilton
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shilton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Shilton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shilton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures 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.
When to call us in Shilton
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
