What we’re called out for in Sibford Gower

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What affects the price in Sibford Gower

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sibford Gower questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
