Trusted bath resealing in Smoo

Landlord and trade work in Smoo

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

About our bath resealing in Smoo

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Smoo

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Common problems we fix in Smoo

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Smoo

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Smoo: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
