What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Why it’s worth resealing in Smeaton
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Questions from Smeaton
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you cover Smeaton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Smeaton and the rest of East Lothian. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does bath resealing cost in Smeaton?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
