How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

  • Wet rooms

What affects the price in Litherland

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Litherland get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Litherland questions

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Litherland?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your L21 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
