How to compare quotes

How we handle bath resealing in Fordcombe

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and damp near the bath.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Fordcombe. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Fordcombe

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Fordcombe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why it’s worth resealing in Fordcombe

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our prices page.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
