Advice
What we are called out for in Swanley
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Swanley
There’s no area surcharge for Swanley. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Swanley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swanley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Swanley
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

Common questions in Swanley
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
