Bath Resealing for Edinburgh homes
Bath resealing across Edinburgh and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
About our bath resealing in Edinburgh
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Do you need bath resealing in Edinburgh?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Resealing in Edinburgh: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our prices page.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Questions from Edinburgh
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
