Bath resealing in Harworth, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Harworth
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Harworth

Can I fix it myself?
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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Questions from Harworth
Do you cover Harworth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Harworth and the rest of Doncaster. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Doncaster?
All of Doncaster, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What else we do in Harworth
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Common problems we fix in Harworth
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
