  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

  • Wet rooms

Bath resealing in Haltham, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Haltham and across Lincolnshire.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Haltham

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in Haltham contact us are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Haltham

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Haltham

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are there extra charges for Haltham?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
