  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about bath resealing in Barnton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover Barnton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barnton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

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

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
