Bath resealing in Charlcombe, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Do you need bath resealing in Charlcombe?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out

Common questions in Charlcombe
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Charlcombe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Charlcombe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Resealing in Charlcombe: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Charlcombe
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Charlcombe. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
