When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Holbrook, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Holbrook questions

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
