About our bath resealing in New Swannington

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for New Swannington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in New Swannington

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Gaps in the seal

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

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.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
