Bath Resealing in Sweffling
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Sweffling, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Sweffling without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Sweffling
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What affects the price in Sweffling
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You don’t 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 price.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath

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, once the joint is completely dry.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
