Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in The Barony, Orkney Islands
Fixed-price bath resealing in The Barony and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in The Barony without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The Barony and nearby
The Barony is about 16 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Jobs in The Barony are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from your photos, then a visit to do the work. We work in 51 places in the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Barony. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area

Landlord and trade work in The Barony
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Barony as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in The Barony
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
