Bath resealing in Achiltibuie, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Achiltibuie?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.

- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 photos, as it can add time.
