How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Bath resealing in Great Holcombe, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Great Holcombe

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

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 the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Great Holcombe. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Great Holcombe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Great Holcombe

For anyone letting property in or around Great Holcombe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Great Holcombe

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include
