Bath resealing at your home in Bretford
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bretford and across Warwickshire.

What else we do in Bretford
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common problems we fix in Bretford
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles

What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bretford
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bretford
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Bretford: your questions answered
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
