Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Puddledock, Greater London
Our repair technicians come to Puddledock for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
Bath resealing at your home in Puddledock
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Puddledock
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
Do you work in Puddledock?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Puddledock. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Puddledock
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Puddledock use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Puddledock
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
Comparing quotes

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Resealing in Puddledock: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Puddledock
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
