Bath Resealing in Old Forge
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Old Forge. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.

- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
How we handle bath resealing in Old Forge
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Old Forge. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Old Forge, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Old Forge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 normally cheaper.

Old Forge: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
