Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath resealing in St Margaret's Hope, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

St Margaret's Hope questions
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
Across the UK, so St Margaret's Hope is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Margaret's Hope. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why reseal now?

Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your photos

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath resealing in St Margaret's Hope?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
