Bath resealing for High Leigh homes

About our bath resealing in High Leigh

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why it’s worth resealing in High Leigh

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in High Leigh

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Common questions in High Leigh

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in High Leigh?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to High Leigh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for High Leigh?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
