Sinks and worktops

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Swattenden

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Swattenden is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Swattenden?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Swattenden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swattenden

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Swattenden clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in Swattenden

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Swattenden. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
