Bath resealing at your home in Great Holland

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in Great Holland

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Holland

For anyone letting property in or around Great Holland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Holland use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Holland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Great Holland

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Great Holland

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
