Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Thornham Fold and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in Thornham Fold
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Resealing in Thornham Fold: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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 Thornham Fold
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our pricing.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
