Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we’re called out for in Holcombe
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Holcombe
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Holcombe is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.

Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
