Bath resealing in Wantage

About our bath resealing in Wantage

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. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wantage and across Oxfordshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Wantage

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Signs you need bath resealing in Wantage

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Resealing in Wantage: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
