Bath resealing in Skeabrae without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Skeabrae
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Skeabrae questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Do you come to Skeabrae?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Skeabrae and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- 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, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Skeabrae, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What affects the price in Skeabrae
We do not charge extra for travel to Skeabrae. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Skeabrae. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
