Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Fernieside, Edinburgh
We travel to Fernieside for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Fernieside, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath resealing in Fernieside
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
