Bath resealing for Hollins Lane homes

Bath resealing in Hollins Lane, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

FAQs for Hollins Lane

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Hollins Lane get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
