What happens on the day

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Bath resealing in Eccleston, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and stained silicone.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eccleston
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in St Helens and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WA10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Eccleston: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Common problems we fix in Eccleston
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
