Bath resealing in Sgalpaigh without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for Sgalpaigh
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why it’s worth resealing in Sgalpaigh
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Sgalpaigh. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Landlord and trade work in Sgalpaigh
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
