How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Canongate: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH1 postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Canongate?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
