Bath resealing near Swaile's Green

Bath resealing in Swaile's Green without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Swaile's Green

There is no charge for travel to Swaile's Green. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Swaile's Green

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Swaile's Green questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN32 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Swaile's Green

If you manage property in Swaile's Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why it’s worth resealing in Swaile's Green

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
