The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Burford
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Burford
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Burford
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Burford
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Your questions about bath resealing in Burford
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
