Bath Resealing in Heddle
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Heddle, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing at your home in Heddle
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Heddle
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Heddle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
FAQs for Heddle
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Heddle. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Heddle
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
