Bath resealing in Swineshead, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Swineshead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why it’s worth resealing in Swineshead
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
