Bath resealing for Swallownest homes

About our bath resealing in Swallownest

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swallownest. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Swallownest, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Swallownest: your questions answered

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
