Bath resealing in Old Dailly without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Old Dailly

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Old Dailly.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What we are called out for in Old Dailly

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Old Dailly

Why it’s worth resealing in Old Dailly

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Old Dailly

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for 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 price the job.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Old Dailly

There is no charge for travel to Old Dailly. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
