How we handle bathroom resealing in Cowley
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Even in a smaller place like Cowley, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What affects the quote in Cowley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How the job changes by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Cowley questions
I let a flat near Oxford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you take on hotel work around Cowley?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Cowley?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Common problems we fix in Cowley
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Luke, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Parking around Cowley is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

Bathroom resealing in Cowley: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Cowley. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Our Lady's Roman Catholic Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

When something else is needed

- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
