Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Greenhill, Edinburgh
Local bath resealing for Greenhill: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Greenhill without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need bath resealing in Greenhill?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you can’t clean out

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Greenhill questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
