About our bath resealing in Holcombe

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. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Holcombe and across Bury.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Holcombe. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Holcombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow around two hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Holcombe questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Holcombe?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Holcombe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Holcombe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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.

What we’re called out for in Holcombe

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
