Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area

Your questions about bath resealing in Smethwick
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover Smethwick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Smethwick. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Do you need bath resealing in Smethwick?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
