About our bathroom resealing in Aywick
Across Aywick, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the kitchen upstand and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Aywick work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. In a place like Aywick, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere like Aywick may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Aywick
Is bathroom resealing in Aywick guaranteed?
All our work, in Aywick and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Aywick within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What else we do in Aywick
Bathroom resealing around Aywick
Aywick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
In and around Aywick, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Aywick is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Aywick get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Aywick is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands we cover for bathroom resealing.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What we’re called out for in Aywick
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Whether the job is in Aywick itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
