Bath resealing at your home in Southport
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Southport. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Southport
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Resealing in Southport: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Southport questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
