Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cousland, Midlothian
Our technicians come to Cousland for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Bath resealing in Cousland without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower

Your questions about bath resealing in Cousland
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cousland?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
