Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Grindiscol, Shetland Islands
Local bath resealing for Grindiscol: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath resealing in Grindiscol, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Grindiscol
We charge the same across the UK, including Grindiscol. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Grindiscol get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
