What affects the price in Lybster
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath resealing in Lybster
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

About Lybster
Lybster is about 22 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Jobs in Lybster are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from your pictures, then a visit to do the work. Our technicians cover 253 places in Highland.
Every address in KW3 is within our area. You’ll find streets such as Main Street, Jeffrey Street and Russell Street, and we cover them all. Nearby, we also work in Dunbeath (6 miles south-west), Balnabruich (7 miles south-west), Thrumster (8 miles north-east), Whiterow (11 miles north-east) and Haster (11 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Lybster, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Why it’s worth resealing in Lybster
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Everything repaired in place

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Lybster
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lybster?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
