Resealing in Fountainhall: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Fountainhall questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Fountainhall?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Fountainhall. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Fountainhall
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fountainhall as well as homeowners. 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. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
