Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ellen's Glen, Edinburgh
Bath resealing in and around Ellen's Glen: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.

- Missing sealant behind the taps
Bath resealing in Ellen's Glen, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ellen's Glen
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Common reasons people in Ellen's Glen contact us are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray

Landlord and trade work in Ellen's Glen
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Ellen's Glen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 won’t last.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Common questions in Ellen's Glen
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
