Bath resealing at your home in Lower Street
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Lower Street

When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lower Street
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Lower Street questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
