Bath resealing near Holywood

Bath resealing at your home in Holywood

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Holywood questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work in Holywood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Holywood. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why it’s worth resealing in Holywood

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

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.
