Bath resealing at your home in Smalley
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Smalley: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why it’s worth resealing in Smalley
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Smalley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smalley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
