How we handle bath resealing in Ford
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Ford
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Ford?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
