Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Strathy, Highland
Local bath resealing for Strathy: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath resealing in Strathy without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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.

Strathy questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Strathy?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Strathy and the rest of Highland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Strathy. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Strathy, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
