Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we handle bath resealing in Swepstone
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and stained silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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 about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Swepstone
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does bath resealing cost in Swepstone?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When to call us in Swepstone
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Swepstone, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
