Heybrook Bay: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Heybrook Bay?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

About our bath resealing in Heybrook Bay

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Whether it’s damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Resealing in Heybrook Bay: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Heybrook Bay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Heybrook Bay

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
