Bath Resealing for North Stifford homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in North Stifford, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you cannot clean out
Bath resealing in North Stifford, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What else we do in North Stifford
Signs you need bath resealing in North Stifford
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you cannot clean out
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Stifford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Stifford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Why it’s worth resealing in North Stifford
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in North Stifford
- One-year guarantee on every repair

North Stifford questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
