Bath resealing for Smallridge homes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smallridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath resealing at your home in Smallridge

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Smallridge

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Smallridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Smallridge

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Smallridge questions

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How much does bath resealing cost in Smallridge?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
