Bath Resealing for Lerwick homes
Our repair technicians come to Lerwick for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
Bath resealing at your home in Lerwick
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Lerwick
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Lerwick and nearby
Lerwick is in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE1 area, a technician comes to you. We cover all 63 towns and villages across the Shetland Islands.
Our repair technicians cover all of ZE1. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, Market Street and Church Road. Lerwick sits on or near the A969 and A970, which makes travel easy. If you’re just outside Lerwick, we cover Sound (1 mile south-west), Gremista (1 mile north), Heogan (1 mile north-east), Grindiscol (2 miles south-east) and Gunnista (2 miles north-east). As one of the bigger places in the Shetland Islands, Lerwick sees plenty of our work. Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
Around Lerwick
In Lerwick, that means homes near St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, Grand Hotel and Anderson High School, among other places. Further afield, we also cover the area around Gilbert Bain Hospital (within half a mile south) and Shetland Museum (less than half a mile north-east). The countryside around Lerwick includes Setter Hill and Clickimin Loch.
Landlord and trade work in Lerwick
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lerwick use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Lerwick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Lerwick
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
