We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Branahuie and across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Branahuie
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Branahuie

FAQs for Branahuie
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Branahuie?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
