Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle bath resealing in Shawbost
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Shawbost
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners

What bath resealing costs

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
