About our bathroom resealing in Swift's Green
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have failed sealant on the screen profile and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
In a village or hamlet like Swift's Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Swift's Green
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Look out for any of the following:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Around Swift's Green, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Swift's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Swift's Green for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Swift's Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Swift's Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Swift's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Swift's Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Why act early in Swift's Green
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Swift's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
