About our bath resealing in Stanborough
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Stanborough questions
Do you cover Stanborough?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stanborough and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath resealing in Stanborough
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Stanborough
- We leave the room as we found it
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
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.
