The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Swanbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we’re called out for in Swanbridge

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Swanbridge questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Swanbridge?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Swanbridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why it’s worth resealing in Swanbridge

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
