How bathroom resealing works in OX15
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps between the worktop and the wall and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Local landmarks in Bloxham
We work in homes and buildings around Church of St Mary, Bloxham Church of England Primary School and The Warriner School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Banbury station, about 3.5 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Bloxham Village Museum (within half a mile south-west) and Horton General Hospital (2.9 miles north-east). Not far away are Crouch Hill and Woodford Bottom and Lamb's Pool.
Where we work in OX15
From Neithrop, Grimsbury and Ruscote to its smaller places, homes across OX15 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials.
Bloxham: Letting a property close to Banbury station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Common problems we fix in OX15
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
What affects the quote in OX15
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What the cure time is
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
Common questions in OX15
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in OX15?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
