For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath resealing in Stornoway, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Stornoway

We don’t charge extra for travel to Stornoway. The price depends on:

Doing more than one item at once
Unusual colours or finishes
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Gaps too big for silicone alone
A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

Kitchen worktops & sinks
Shower trays & enclosures
Basins & vanity units
Baths
Wet rooms

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

Keep the joints dry
Ventilate the bathroom well
Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Stornoway

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

Gaps by the taps
Damp near the bath
Black mould in the sealant
Old sealant that looks dirty

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
