What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Questions from Swainsthorpe

How soon can you come?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Swainsthorpe?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we’re called out for in Swainsthorpe

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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