About our bath resealing in Summertown
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Summertown as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Questions from Summertown
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Summertown?
We do. We send a technician to Summertown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
When to call us in Summertown
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Postcode districts we cover here: OX2 and OX3. You will find streets such as Islip Road, Hobson Road and Hernes Road. Summertown is on the A4165, so it’s easy for us to reach.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before you book
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Read our pricing.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Summertown. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
You do not 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
