Landlord and trade work in Hartshill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartshill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
About our bath resealing in Hartshill
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hartshill
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hartshill
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our pricing.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Hartshill. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Hartshill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Questions from Hartshill
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
