Bath Resealing in Edinburgh

Our bath resealing service in Edinburgh

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Cost

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a price

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Edinburgh

If you manage property in Edinburgh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

FAQs for Edinburgh

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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 before the end of a tenancy.
