We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

What affects the price in Brae
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Brae
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover Brae?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Brae and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
