About our bath resealing in Kingshall Street
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Questions from Kingshall Street
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Kingshall Street?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Why it’s worth resealing in Kingshall Street
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Kingshall Street

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
When to call us in Kingshall Street
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
