Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Greenwith Common, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Greenwith Common

If you manage property in Greenwith Common, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Greenwith Common

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Greenwith Common. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Greenwith Common

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?
