Your questions about bath resealing in Keekle
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Keekle?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How we handle bath resealing in Keekle
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Keekle: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Keekle
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Keekle, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Keekle
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Different materials, different repairs
