Bath resealing at your home in Fairwarp
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Fairwarp: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Fairwarp.
How much does bath resealing cost in Fairwarp?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Covering Fairwarp
Fairwarp is about 4 miles south-west of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Anywhere in TN22, we come to you. Fairwarp is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We work right across the region, from Fairwarp to London (about 34 miles away).
Jobs in TN22 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Whether you live on Oldlands Hill, Hop Garden and Back Lane or a nearby road, we can come to you. We also travel to High Hurstwood (1 mile east), Five Ash Down (1 mile south), Sweethaws (2 miles north-east), Crowborough (4 miles north-east) and Marden's Hill (4 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Lewes (11 miles south-west), Hailsham (13 miles south-east), Uckfield (4 miles south), Polegate (15 miles south-east), South Malling (11 miles south) and Heathfield (8 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Fairwarp
We visit homes around The Foresters Arms and St John the Evangelist Church. The nearest railway station is Buxted station, about 2.5 miles south-east. A little further out are Tickerage Castle (4.1 miles south-east) and Crowborough War Memorial Hospital (3.2 miles north-east). For a walk, there is Brickfield Meadow.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Other services in Fairwarp
When to call us in Fairwarp
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairwarp
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairwarp use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
