Bath resealing at your home in Ford
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ford
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Ford
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ford?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ford. Prices don’t change with location.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
