Trusted bath resealing in Lilyhurst

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lilyhurst

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lilyhurst

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about bath resealing in Lilyhurst

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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