Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Your questions about bath resealing in Whiston
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Whiston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whiston and the rest of St Helens. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When to call us in Whiston
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Whiston contact us include:
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty

What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
