Bath Resealing for Bloomsbury homes
Our technicians come to Bloomsbury for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
Bath resealing in Bloomsbury without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Resealing in Bloomsbury: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bloomsbury

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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 about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Bloomsbury: your questions answered
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bloomsbury use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

What affects the price in Bloomsbury
We charge the same across the UK, including Bloomsbury. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Bloomsbury and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
