Bath resealing in Moorswater

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

About our bath resealing in Moorswater

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Moorswater. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Moorswater questions

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PL14 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Moorswater?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Moorswater. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

When to call us in Moorswater

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Common reasons people in Moorswater contact us include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Moorswater

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
