Bath resealing near The Castles

Bath resealing in The Castles, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Resealing in The Castles: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in The Castles

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Castles use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in The Castles

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in The Castles

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work in The Castles?

We do. We send a technician to The Castles for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
