Bath resealing at your home in Tiddington
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Questions from Tiddington
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are there extra charges for Tiddington?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need bath resealing in Tiddington?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Tiddington. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
