Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hailsham, East Sussex
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Hailsham, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Why it’s worth resealing in Hailsham
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hailsham
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Bath resealing in Hailsham without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
