How we handle bath resealing in Abune-the-Hill
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Abune-the-Hill
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How much does bath resealing cost in Abune-the-Hill?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your KW17 postcode.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
We cover the whole UK, including Abune-the-Hill and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why it’s worth resealing in Abune-the-Hill
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Abune-the-Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
