Bath resealing at your home in Dunvegan
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Dunvegan: your questions answered
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dunvegan
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
