Bath resealing near Holmbush

Bath resealing at your home in Holmbush

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 wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Holmbush: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work in Holmbush?

We do. We send a technician to Holmbush for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmbush as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Holmbush, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we’re called out for in Holmbush

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
