About our bath resealing in Stromness
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What else we do in Stromness
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Stromness
We don’t charge extra for travel to Stromness. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Stromness and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Stromness
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

- Gaps in the seal
