Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Brancepeth and across County Durham. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Brancepeth

Bath resealing in Brancepeth without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Brancepeth
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Advice
What affects the price in Brancepeth
We don’t charge extra for travel to Brancepeth. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
