How we handle bath resealing in Barrow Street

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we are called out for in Barrow Street

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Barrow Street. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why it’s worth resealing in Barrow Street

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Barrow Street

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Barrow Street questions

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Barrow Street?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
