DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need bath resealing in Scalloway?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Scalloway: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
