Bath Resealing for Greendykes homes
Our technicians come to Greendykes for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
How we handle bath resealing in Greendykes
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Greendykes
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Greendykes?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Greendykes and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Greendykes.
What affects the price in Greendykes
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Greendykes get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
