Bath Resealing for Ford's Green homes
We travel to Ford's Green for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Ford's Green
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Ford's Green
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
