Bath Resealing for Reay homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Reay and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
About our bath resealing in Reay
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Covering Reay
Reay is about 10 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. Customers in Reay get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from photos, then a visit to do the work. Reay is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.
Here we cover the KW14 postcode area. Streets in the area include The Terrace, The Avenue and Beinn Ratha Court, and we cover them all. If you’re just outside Reay, we cover Melvich (5 miles west), Portskerra (5 miles west), Forss (6 miles north-east), Westfield (6 miles east) and Janetstown (8 miles east). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
Local landmarks in Reay
In Reay, that means homes near Reay Parish Church, among other places. A little further out are Dounreay Castle (2.1 miles north-east). The countryside around Reay includes Caol-Loch.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Your questions about bath resealing in Reay
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Reay. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What affects the price in Reay
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reay use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Do not 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.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Common problems we fix in Reay
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
