Bath Resealing for Craigour homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Craigour, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath resealing at your home in Craigour
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Questions from Craigour
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Craigour
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
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 will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Craigour
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
