Bath resealing at your home in Gunnista
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gunnista and across the Shetland Islands.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our pricing.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gunnista
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What affects the price in Gunnista
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about bath resealing in Gunnista
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
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 silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
