Swarthmoor: your questions answered
Do you cover Swarthmoor?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Swarthmoor and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
About our bath resealing in Swarthmoor
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
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.
