About our bath resealing in Swinscoe

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 a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Swinscoe

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Common questions in Swinscoe

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we’re called out for in Swinscoe

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
