Bath resealing in Acton without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common questions in Acton
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Acton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Acton
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Why it’s worth resealing in Acton
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Acton
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
