Bath resealing in Holton St Mary without replacing anything
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. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Holton St Mary
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Signs you need bath resealing in Holton St Mary
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps

Common questions in Holton St Mary
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Holton St Mary?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
