How we handle bath resealing in Woodway

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Woodway and across Oxfordshire.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What affects the price in Woodway

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Woodway

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Woodway. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need bath resealing in Woodway?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath resealing in Woodway

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
