How we handle bath resealing in Iford
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Iford
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Resealing in Iford: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise 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.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Iford questions
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
