About our bath resealing in St Helens
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.
What affects the price in St Helens
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Helens
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Questions from St Helens
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so St Helens is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you come to St Helens?
We do. We send a technician to St Helens for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage

- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Common problems we fix in St Helens
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
