How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath resealing in Orphir without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on 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.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Do you need bath resealing in Orphir?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Orphir
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover the entire of the Orkney Islands?
We work UK-wide, so Orphir is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
