How we handle bath resealing in Urafirth
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Urafirth
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Urafirth
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Urafirth questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Urafirth?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Urafirth?
We do. Technicians travel to Urafirth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
