Bath Resealing in Heswall
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Heswall, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in Heswall
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Heswall
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Resealing in Heswall: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
