Bath resealing in Duddingston without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Duddingston
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote

Duddingston: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Duddingston included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Duddingston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
