Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bonnington, Edinburgh
Bath resealing in and around Bonnington: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Bath resealing in Bonnington without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Common questions in Bonnington
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Bonnington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How much does bath resealing cost in Bonnington?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
