Bath resealing at your home in Cowgate
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cowgate as everywhere else we work.

Cowgate: your questions answered
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does bath resealing cost in Cowgate?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, 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.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Why it’s worth resealing in Cowgate
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cowgate

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
