About our bath resealing in Gifford
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Gifford questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gifford?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gifford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Gifford. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gifford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job 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.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
