Need bath resealing in Smelthouses?

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

About our bath resealing in Smelthouses

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Smelthouses. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

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

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlord and trade work in Smelthouses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Smelthouses: your questions answered

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Smelthouses?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
