Bath resealing in Colinton without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Colinton. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Colinton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
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, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlord and trade work in Colinton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colinton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Resealing in Colinton: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
