Bath resealing at your home in Lochmaddy
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Lochmaddy
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions from Lochmaddy
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Lochmaddy?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How much does bath resealing cost in Lochmaddy?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Other services in Lochmaddy
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Why it’s worth resealing in Lochmaddy
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
