Need bath resealing in Swaby?

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

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

How we handle bath resealing in Swaby

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Swaby

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Swaby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swaby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swaby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
