Bath resealing at your home in Bottisham
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we’re called out for in Bottisham
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Questions from Bottisham
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Bottisham. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bottisham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bottisham
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
