Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Heriot
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heriot as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Heriot questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Heriot?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heriot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Heriot and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive

- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
