About our bath resealing in Lochboisdale
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Lochboisdale. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Lochboisdale questions
What areas do you cover?
All of Na h-Eileanan Siar, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
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.
Do you cover Lochboisdale?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lochboisdale and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There is 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 reply with a fixed price.
