Bath Resealing for Finstown homes
We travel to Finstown for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Bath resealing at your home in Finstown
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What else we do in Finstown
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Resealing in Finstown: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Finstown
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Finstown
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you cover the entire of the Orkney Islands?
We work UK-wide, so Finstown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
