Bath resealing in Stow Heath

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Stow Heath

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Your questions about bath resealing in Stow Heath

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Landlord and trade work in Stow Heath

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stow Heath as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath resealing in Stow Heath?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
