How we handle bath resealing in Holywell

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Holywell

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Holywell

Questions from Holywell

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How much does bath resealing cost in Holywell?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover Holywell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Holywell and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
