Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing at your home in Forest Green

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Resealing in Forest Green: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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 Forest Green

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Forest Green questions

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Forest Green?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Do you come to Forest Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Forest Green and the rest of Surrey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What affects the price in Forest Green

We charge the same across the UK, including Forest Green. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Forest Green, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Get a quote

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
