Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Baltasound, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
Signs you need bath resealing in Baltasound
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
How we handle bath resealing in Baltasound
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Baltasound as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Baltasound
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Baltasound questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Shetland Islands.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Baltasound?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ZE2 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Baltasound
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
