Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
About our bath resealing in Clate
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Clate: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How much does bath resealing cost in Clate?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Clate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Do you need bath resealing in Clate?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
