Bath resealing in Hollowell, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hollowell as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Your questions about bath resealing in Hollowell
Are there extra charges for Hollowell?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
