How we handle bath resealing in Small Way

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Small Way

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Small Way

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Small Way: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Small Way?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
