Bath resealing in Alton without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Resealing in Alton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Alton
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Alton questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common problems we fix in Alton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Alton. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Alton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Alton
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
