Do you need bath resealing in Norseman?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Bath resealing in Norseman without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Norseman

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Norseman questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Norseman?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Norseman for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why it’s worth resealing in Norseman
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Our work in Norseman
Norseman is about 7 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We travel to homes and businesses in Norseman and nearby villages, so nothing has to leave your home. Norseman is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands we cover.
All of KW17 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also cover the places around Norseman: Isbister (1 mile east), Settiscarth (1 mile west), Gorseness (2 miles north-east), Tingwall (3 miles north-east) and Finstown (3 miles south). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
