Bathroom resealing in Sway, done properly
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include water getting behind the kitchen upstand and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
In and around Sway, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When to call us in Sway
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Luke's Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sway
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In a smaller place like Sway, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Sway: your questions answered
Will you come out to Sway?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sway station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Bathroom resealing in Sway: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Sway station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What else we do in Sway
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a smaller place like Sway, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
