Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Balmacara. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Balmacara?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Balmacara questions
Do you come to Balmacara?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Balmacara and the rest of Highland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why it’s worth resealing in Balmacara
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
