Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath resealing in Holmrook

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Resealing in Holmrook: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Holmrook. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Holmrook

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
