About bathroom resealing in OX4
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Typical jobs include gaps between the worktop and the wall and water getting behind the bath panel, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and the area is left clean.
- We cover the area around the joints we are 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.
- 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.

Where we work in OX4
Our bathroom resealing work across OX4 covers homes, rentals and businesses, in Oxford, Cowley and Blackbird Leys and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in OX4 is planned around the forecast.
Oxford: For landlords with property near Oxford station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you look after a building such as East Oxford Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Why deal with it now?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
OX4 questions
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
