Bath resealing in Holwell

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

About our bath resealing in Holwell

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about bath resealing in Holwell

Will you leave a mess?

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

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Holwell

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holwell

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
