Landlords, agents and businesses in Rainford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rainford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Bath resealing in Rainford, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Rainford: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you cover the whole of St Helens?
The whole UK, including all of St Helens. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
What we are called out for in Rainford
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
