How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

When to call us in Holcombe

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Holcombe

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Holcombe is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DT7 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holcombe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Holcombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
