What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Gayton: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you come to Gayton?
We do. We send a technician to Gayton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wirral and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Gayton

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Gayton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
