Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bootle, Cumbria

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are

Bath resealing in Bootle without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bootle: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Bootle?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bootle for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bootle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Bootle
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
