How we handle bath resealing in Ford
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Ford
Ford: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work in Ford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Ford
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
