About our bathroom resealing in Ford
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and the jobs we see most are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Homes around Ford are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Ford
Is Ford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Ford?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Ford
Ford is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Ford station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Littlehampton Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Ford is about 2 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. For bathroom resealing in and around Ford, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for a quick quote.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Ford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Ford
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Andrew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Around Ford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
