Bath resealing in Fordham without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Fordham: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs

Advice
Signs you need bath resealing in Fordham
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you can’t clean out
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
