Bath resealing in Smestow

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Bath resealing in Smestow, done in place

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. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we are called out for in Smestow

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath resealing in Smestow

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for Smestow?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Smestow?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Smestow for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Smestow

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Smestow customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smestow

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Smestow

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
