Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Blackhill, Orkney Islands
We travel to Blackhill for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Bath resealing in Blackhill, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Our work in Blackhill
Blackhill is about 1 mile west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We travel to homes and businesses in Blackhill and the surrounding area, so you do not need to take anything anywhere. Our technicians cover 51 places in the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.

Landlord and trade work in Blackhill
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

- Leaks at the edges

Common questions in Blackhill
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
