About bathroom resealing in OX2
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and leaking joints on a shower screen.
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
What you’ll pay
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- We agree the colour with you first
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Bathrooms and kitchens across OX2
OX2 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Oxford, St John Street area and St. Ebbes. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in OX2, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Walton Manor: 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. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Common problems we fix in OX2
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
Look out for these signs:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Questions from OX2
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
