About our bath resealing in Swyre

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. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swyre and across Dorset.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Do you need bath resealing in Swyre?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

FAQs for Swyre

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Swyre, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
