Bath resealing in Crosby without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crosby and across Liverpool.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
What affects the price in Crosby
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Crosby
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Crosby
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
