Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swanton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Swanton
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What we are called out for in Swanton
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before you book

What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
