Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our bath resealing in Smithfield
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath resealing in Smithfield
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How much does bath resealing cost in Smithfield?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EC1V postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
