How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Morley Smithy. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Bath resealing at your home in Morley Smithy
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

FAQs for Morley Smithy
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Morley Smithy?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE7 postcode.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Morley Smithy
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 generally cheaper.
