Bath resealing in Holmeswood

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holmeswood

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmeswood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common problems we fix in Holmeswood

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Holmeswood

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you come to Holmeswood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Holmeswood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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