When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in New Hartley

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Why it’s worth resealing in New Hartley

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in New Hartley

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common questions in New Hartley

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in New Hartley?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE25 postcode.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What affects the price in New Hartley

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
