Where we work around Evie
Evie is about 11 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We travel to clients in Evie and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. Evie is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.
Every address in KW17 is covered. Main roads around Evie include the A966, so getting to you is simple. Other places close to Evie include Tingwall (3 miles south-east), Settiscarth (5 miles south), Brinian (5 miles east), Abune-the-Hill (5 miles west) and Norseman (5 miles south). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Bath resealing in Evie without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Evie
There is no area surcharge for Evie. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we are called out for in Evie
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why it’s worth resealing in Evie
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Other services in Evie
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Evie: your questions answered
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
