What affects the price in Holmes

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath resealing in Holmes

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Why it’s worth resealing in Holmes

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Questions from Holmes

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

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.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Holmes is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holmes

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Holmes

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
