Bath resealing in Swan Bottom

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we handle bath resealing in Swan Bottom

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Swan Bottom, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Swan Bottom

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Swan Bottom

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Swan Bottom. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Swan Bottom: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

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