Common problems we fix in Dent
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal

Bath resealing in Dent without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What else we do in Dent
Common questions in Dent
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Dent

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
