Bath resealing in Whiteway, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Whiteway

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Whiteway

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Whiteway

Do you cover the whole of Bath and North East Somerset?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you come to Whiteway?

We do. Technicians travel to Whiteway from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
