Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Prescot, St Helens
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Prescot, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Bath resealing in Prescot, done in place
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 are often asked to fix gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
FAQs for Prescot
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Prescot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What else we do in Prescot
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Prescot
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
What affects the price in Prescot
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
