Questions from Swallow
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Bath resealing in Swallow without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Signs you need bath resealing in Swallow
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swallow use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Swallow. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Swallow get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
