Bath resealing across East Lothian: what to expect

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with 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. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Common problems we fix in East Lothian

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

Should you replace it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right.

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
