Bath resealing in Holmside, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Holmside?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
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. Most visits take around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Common questions in Holmside
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- 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.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
