Bath resealing in Reydon Smear, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reydon Smear

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we work on in Reydon Smear

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Reydon Smear

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Reydon Smear. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Reydon Smear customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our full price list.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
