Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ford, Shropshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Ford, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath resealing at your home in Ford
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Ford
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Common problems we fix in Ford
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
