Bath resealing in Wark, 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 so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Resealing in Wark: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wark
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are

How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Wark. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash

- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
