Bath Resealing in East Pilton
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in East Pilton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in East Pilton, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in East Pilton
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in East Pilton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

East Pilton questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 normally the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
