Bath resealing at your home in Swanwick
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Common questions in Swanwick
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need bath resealing in Swanwick?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Unsealed corners

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
