About our bath resealing in Swinefleet

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Swinefleet and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Swinefleet

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

What affects the price in Swinefleet

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Swinefleet

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Swinefleet included. Travel is included in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need bath resealing in Swinefleet?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinefleet as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
