How we handle bath resealing in Craigleith
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Questions from Craigleith
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How much does bath resealing cost in Craigleith?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Craigleith and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
