Bath resealing at your home in Speckington

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in Speckington

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

Resealing in Speckington: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Speckington

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
