How we handle bath resealing in Smarden Bell
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, across baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Smarden Bell
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Smarden Bell
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Resealing in Smarden Bell: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
