Landlord and trade work in Tidmarsh

About our bath resealing in Tidmarsh

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Tidmarsh: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Tidmarsh and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What we’re called out for in Tidmarsh

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Tidmarsh. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

Resealing in Tidmarsh: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
