Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hillside, Sefton
Fixed-price bath resealing in Hillside and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
About our bath resealing in Hillside
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. 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 quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Hillside
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need bath resealing in Hillside?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
