How we handle bath resealing in Walls
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Walls
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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walls as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Do you need bath resealing in Walls?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Walls contact us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Walls: your questions answered
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover Walls?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Walls for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
