About our bath resealing in Comiston
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Comiston
Comiston questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work in Comiston?
We do. Technicians travel to Comiston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
