Common questions in Witney
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Witney.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we handle bath resealing in Witney
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. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
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.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need bath resealing in Witney?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
