Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Holwellbury, Hertfordshire
Our technicians come to Holwellbury for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you can’t clean out
Bath resealing in Holwellbury, done in place
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. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Your questions about bath resealing in Holwellbury
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Holwellbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
