Bath resealing for Holt homes

Bath resealing in Holt without replacing anything

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. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Holt: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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 you cover the whole of Norfolk?

The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.

What we’re called out for in Holt

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holt

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Holt

Resealing is routine maintenance. 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 your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
