Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Bath resealing at your home in Smallburn
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, across baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Your questions about bath resealing in Smallburn
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?

How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What a repair can’t fix

- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Smallburn
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Smallburn. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
