Need bath resealing in Saline?

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing in Saline, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Saline

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Saline is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Saline?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KY12 postcode.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KY12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Resealing in Saline: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Saline

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we work on in Saline

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
