Resealing in Twelve Oaks: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Twelve Oaks questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Common problems we fix in Twelve Oaks
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Twelve Oaks contact us are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
