Bath Resealing for Fordington homes
We travel to Fordington for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
About our bath resealing in Fordington
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlord and trade work in Fordington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fordington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fordington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
