Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Hollybush Corner

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Hollybush Corner?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hollybush Corner. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When to call us in Hollybush Corner

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in Hollybush Corner contact us are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal

  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hollybush Corner. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
