DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What else we do in Fairmilehead
FAQs for Fairmilehead
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are there extra charges for Fairmilehead?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Fairmilehead?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EH10 postcode.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairmilehead
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairmilehead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
