When a repair is not the answer

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ford End
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ford End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Ford End
There’s no area surcharge for Ford End. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit

- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
