Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Gogar, Edinburgh
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Gogar, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
About our bath resealing in Gogar
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Gogar: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you cover Gogar?
We do. Technicians travel to Gogar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gogar
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Common problems we fix in Gogar

- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why it’s worth resealing in Gogar
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
