About our bath resealing in West Hagbourne

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in West Hagbourne, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Resealing in West Hagbourne: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in West Hagbourne

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Hagbourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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, for the same reason.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
