About our bath resealing in Clermiston

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and stained silicone.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Common questions in Clermiston

Do you come to Clermiston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clermiston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Clermiston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Clermiston

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
