Common questions in Thanington
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Thanington included. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Do you need bath resealing in Thanington?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

Resealing in Thanington: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Thanington
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
