FAQs for Gillmoss
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gillmoss.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How we handle bath resealing in Gillmoss
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gillmoss and across Liverpool.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Liverpool and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we are called out for in Gillmoss
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
