Bath resealing at your home in Comely Bank

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Comely Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Comely Bank, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Landlord and trade work in Comely Bank

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Comely Bank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Comely Bank

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Comely Bank: your questions answered

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH4 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
