Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Inch, Edinburgh
Bath resealing across Inch and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Inch. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Bath resealing in Inch, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Inch?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:

- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
