How we handle bath resealing in Hollins
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hollins. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Hollins: your questions answered
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollins
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
