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.

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.

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.

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
