Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Clopton Corner

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Clopton Corner

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does bath resealing cost in Clopton Corner?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP13 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Clopton Corner?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Clopton Corner. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Clopton Corner

  • Black mould in the sealant
