Bath resealing for Old Ford homes

Bath resealing in Old Ford, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Old Ford

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

Old Ford: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Old Ford?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Old Ford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Old Ford. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Old Ford, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
