How we handle bath resealing in Swardeston
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Swardeston
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swardeston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Swardeston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Swardeston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Swardeston
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Swardeston and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Common problems we fix in Swardeston
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Swardeston contact us are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
