Bath resealing for Holsworthy homes

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Bath resealing in Holsworthy, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Holsworthy and across Devon.

Holsworthy questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you come to Holsworthy?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Holsworthy. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I have to be there?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Holsworthy

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Holsworthy

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Resealing in Holsworthy: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
