Bath resealing in Drylaw without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Drylaw and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Drylaw
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Common reasons people in Drylaw contact us are:
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
What else we do in Drylaw
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Drylaw questions
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Drylaw
For anyone letting property in or around Drylaw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
