Bath resealing at your home in Aywick
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aywick and across the Shetland Islands.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
FAQs for Aywick
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Aywick
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
If you are in Aywick and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
