About our bath resealing in Craigmillar
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Craigmillar and across Edinburgh.

Questions from Craigmillar
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How the visit works

- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigmillar
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craigmillar use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not 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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
