Bath resealing for Mid Holmwood homes

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath resealing in Mid Holmwood, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mid Holmwood as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath resealing in Mid Holmwood?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for these signs:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mid Holmwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Mid Holmwood

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
