Bath resealing in Isbister, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Isbister and across the Orkney Islands.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common questions in Isbister
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
