Bath resealing in Auchendinny, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Auchendinny
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Auchendinny: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Midlothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
What affects the price in Auchendinny
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Auchendinny
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
