Bath resealing at your home in Craigcrook

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Craigcrook questions

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Resealing in Craigcrook: why it matters

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Craigcrook?

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

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
