- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Inverness. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The type of damage
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath resealing in Inverness without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, 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.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Inverness
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we are called out for in Inverness
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
