Bath resealing in Ford, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HP17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
