Bath resealing at your home in Hollacombe

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Common questions in Hollacombe

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work in Hollacombe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hollacombe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollacombe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hollacombe

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
