Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Sandwick, Shetland Islands
Bath resealing across Sandwick and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Bath resealing in Sandwick, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandwick
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandwick as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Sandwick
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Sandwick?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sandwick?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
