Bath resealing for St Breward homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath resealing in St Breward without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Common problems we fix in St Breward

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Unsealed corners

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in St Breward

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

If you’re in St Breward and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
