Bath resealing at your home in Fairlight Cove
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairlight Cove
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
What affects the price in Fairlight Cove
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN35 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Resealing in Fairlight Cove: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Fairlight Cove

- Fixed prices from your pictures

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Fairlight Cove: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Fairlight Cove?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fairlight Cove for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
