Bath Resealing for Buccleuch homes
Bath resealing across Buccleuch and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing at your home in Buccleuch
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Buccleuch and across Edinburgh.

Buccleuch questions
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Other services in Buccleuch
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buccleuch use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Buccleuch
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Buccleuch
There’s no area surcharge for Buccleuch. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Buccleuch, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
