Bath resealing in Swaythling

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Swaythling

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

What we are called out for in Swaythling

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Swaythling, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Southampton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Resealing in Swaythling: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Questions from Swaythling

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you cover the whole of Southampton?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Swaythling. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Swaythling.
