Trusted bath resealing in Hollybush

Bath resealing at your home in Hollybush

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Resealing in Hollybush: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common problems we fix in Hollybush

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Hollybush. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
