Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bilston, Midlothian
Fixed-price bath resealing in Bilston and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath resealing in Bilston, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Bilston
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bilston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bilston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Baths
