Resealing in Itton: why it matters
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Itton

How we handle bath resealing in Itton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Itton
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Itton. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath resealing in Itton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Itton?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Itton and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Landlord and trade work in Itton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Itton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
