About our bath resealing in Melling
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and gaps by the taps.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sefton.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Melling
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you come to Melling?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Melling from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Melling clients choose us
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Melling. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
