Lower Holloway: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How we handle bath resealing in Lower Holloway
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and damp near the bath, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What we are called out for in Lower Holloway
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Holloway
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Lower Holloway
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
