Resealing in East Calder: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle bath resealing in East Calder
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in East Calder, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths

Your questions about bath resealing in East Calder
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in East Calder?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
