Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smalldale use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Resealing in Smalldale: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Smalldale
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
