Advice
Bath resealing at your home in Falkenham
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Falkenham and across Suffolk.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Falkenham. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Resealing in Falkenham: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Falkenham

Your questions about bath resealing in Falkenham
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work in Falkenham?
We do. Technicians travel to Falkenham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Falkenham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
