How we handle bath resealing in Smithy Bridge
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Smithy Bridge
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What affects the price in Smithy Bridge
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Smithy Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Smithy Bridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we’re called out for in Smithy Bridge
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
