Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cameron Toll, Edinburgh
Bath resealing across Cameron Toll and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Bath resealing in Cameron Toll, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cameron Toll
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Cameron Toll questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.
Do you work in Cameron Toll?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cameron Toll. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath resealing in Cameron Toll
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cameron Toll
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
