Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Watlington, Oxfordshire

Bath resealing in Watlington, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Watlington
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Watlington
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Watlington, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Watlington
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Watlington?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
