Bath resealing in Swanley

Bath resealing in Swanley without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Swanley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

When to call us in Swanley

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Swanley questions

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work in Swanley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Swanley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
