Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Greenside
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Greenside
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.

- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Greenside
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
