Your questions about bath resealing in Smithfield
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How we handle bath resealing in Smithfield
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Smithfield
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Smithfield
There’s no area surcharge for Smithfield. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
