  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Bath resealing at your home in Hawkhead

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hawkhead, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Resealing in Hawkhead: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hawkhead

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Hawkhead: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Hawkhead?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hawkhead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hawkhead?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
