Bath Resealing in Balerno
Fixed-price bath resealing in Balerno and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our bath resealing in Balerno
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balerno use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Balerno. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Balerno
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
