Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Bath resealing in Swingleton Green without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Swingleton Green. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Questions from Swingleton Green
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Resealing in Swingleton Green: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths

- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
