Bath resealing for Holloway homes

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Our hiring checklist

Holloway: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Holloway is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does bath resealing cost in Holloway?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

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.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Holloway. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
