Do you need bath resealing in Goldenacre?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Goldenacre: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Goldenacre?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Goldenacre for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
We cover the whole UK, including Goldenacre and the rest of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Goldenacre
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goldenacre use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Goldenacre, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
