Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ingliston, Edinburgh

- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in Ingliston, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
FAQs for Ingliston
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ingliston
If you manage property in Ingliston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ingliston
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
