When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Bath resealing at your home in Tilehurst
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Questions from Tilehurst
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Tilehurst and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tilehurst. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we are called out for in Tilehurst
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
