How we handle bath resealing in Swerford

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Swerford: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Swerford?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you cover Swerford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Swerford and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you need bath resealing in Swerford?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

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

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Swerford: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What affects the price in Swerford

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swerford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
