Resealing in Pickford: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Pickford

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Bath resealing in Pickford without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Pickford

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
