Bath Resealing in Midlothian

About bath resealing in Midlothian

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about stained silicone and unsealed corners.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

What it costs in Midlothian

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Around Bonnyrigg

We visit homes around Bonnyrigg Parish Church, Lasswade High School Centre and Public Library and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Eskbank station, roughly 1.1 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Dalhousie Castle (1.2 miles south-east) and Midlothian Community Hospital (0.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there is The New Leaf Co-op and Edgelaw Reservoir.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Midlothian

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

FAQs for Midlothian

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
