Bath resealing for Swinbrook homes

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

About our bath resealing in Swinbrook

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Questions from Swinbrook

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Swinbrook

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
