What affects the price in Ford
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath resealing in Ford without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ford and across Wiltshire.

Resealing in Ford: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Ford
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
