Bath resealing in Stratton

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Stratton

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Stratton

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work in Stratton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stratton and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Stratton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
