The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath resealing in Mockbeggar

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Mockbeggar: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Mockbeggar?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Mockbeggar

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Mockbeggar. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
