Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Bath resealing in Dalkeith, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What a repair can’t fix

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
