Bath resealing at your home in Swarkestone
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Swarkestone
There’s no area surcharge for Swarkestone. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
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
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
