Bath resealing in Eddleston without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eddleston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When to call us in Eddleston

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
