Bath resealing at your home in Somerton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and an untidy old seal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Somerton as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Somerton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
What we are called out for in Somerton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Somerton
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it

What affects the price in Somerton
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Somerton
Somerton questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
