About our bath resealing in Ford
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Ford. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Ford
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you work in Ford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ford
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
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.
