Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in Garndiffaith
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Resealing in Garndiffaith: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Garndiffaith
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Garndiffaith, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What affects the price in Garndiffaith
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
