Bath resealing for South Holmwood homes

About our bath resealing in South Holmwood

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 normally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

When to call us in South Holmwood

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in South Holmwood

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

  • Basins & vanity units

South Holmwood questions

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you work in South Holmwood?

We do. We send a technician to South Holmwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, South Holmwood included. Travel is included in the price.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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