Bath resealing in Fords Farm without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use 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 is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Fords Farm
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Fords Farm
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
