How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Bellevue

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bellevue use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Bellevue

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
