Landlord and trade work in Penwortham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penwortham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle bath resealing in Penwortham
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Penwortham
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why it’s worth resealing in Penwortham
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Penwortham
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How much does bath resealing cost in Penwortham?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you come to Penwortham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Penwortham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
