Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Formby, Sefton
We travel to Formby for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our bath resealing in Formby
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Formby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Resealing in Formby: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Formby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Formby: your questions answered
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you work in Formby?
We do. We send a technician to Formby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
