Bath resealing near Holywell Lake

Bath resealing at your home in Holywell Lake

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

FAQs for Holywell Lake

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover Holywell Lake?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Holywell Lake and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What affects the price in Holywell Lake

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

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

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
