When to call us in Holbeton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Bath resealing in Holbeton, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Holbeton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Holbeton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Holbeton questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Holbeton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Holbeton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
