Bath resealing for Swinden homes

How we handle bath resealing in Swinden

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Swinden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

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, with the joint fully dried first.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Swinden

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

When to call us in Swinden

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Swinden. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Swinden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
