Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Baberton, Edinburgh
Our technicians come to Baberton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Bath resealing in Baberton without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and stained silicone.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Resealing in Baberton: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
See our full price list.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Baberton: your questions answered
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Baberton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
