Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Colinsburgh, Fife
We travel to Colinsburgh for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Colinsburgh
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Colinsburgh
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you need bath resealing in Colinsburgh?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Why it’s worth resealing in Colinsburgh
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
