All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How we handle bath resealing in Lawkland
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Lawkland
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why it’s worth resealing in Lawkland
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lawkland
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
