Trusted bath resealing in Holborn

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Bath resealing in Holborn, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, 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.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Holborn

Holborn questions

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are there extra charges for Holborn?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When to call us in Holborn

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

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

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
