Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Holt Wood, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Holt Wood: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holt Wood

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holt Wood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
