Bath resealing at your home in Holtsmere End
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Holtsmere End
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Holtsmere End
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Holtsmere End. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
