Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Chipstead, Kent
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Chipstead, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing at your home in Chipstead
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Chipstead
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Chipstead
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything

When to call us in Chipstead
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Chipstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Chipstead. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
