When to call us in Holditch
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Holditch
We charge the same across the UK, including Holditch. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Most clients in Holditch get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Holditch
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Resealing in Holditch: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
