Trusted bath resealing in Swanmore

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Bath resealing in Swanmore, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swanmore as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Swanmore. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Questions from Swanmore

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Swanmore?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Common problems we fix in Swanmore

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
