Bath Resealing for Gowkshill homes
Bath resealing across Gowkshill and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Stained silicone
Bath resealing in Gowkshill without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Gowkshill
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gowkshill
For anyone letting property in or around Gowkshill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Gowkshill
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Midlothian.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
