Barabhas: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Barabhas?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Na h-Eileanan Siar.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
About our bath resealing in Barabhas
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What we are called out for in Barabhas
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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.
