What we are called out for in Swinithwaite

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Bath resealing in Swinithwaite without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right.

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swinithwaite

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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