Bath resealing at your home in Kaimes
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kaimes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we’re called out for in Kaimes
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Covering Kaimes
Kaimes is about 3 miles south-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Jobs in Kaimes are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from photos, then a visit to do the work. Our technicians cover 175 places across Edinburgh, from the larger towns to small villages.
Our visits in EH16 and EH17 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets such as Tor Lane, Soutra Road and Mansion Lane, and we cover them all. We also travel to Howden Hall (1 mile north), Alnwickhill (1 mile north), Southhouse (1 mile east), Gracemount (1 mile north-east) and Mortonhall (1 mile west). We also work in nearby towns such as Edinburgh (3 miles north-west), Leith (5 miles north), Bonnington (5 miles north), Greenside (4 miles north), Broughton (4 miles north) and Bellevue (4 miles north).
Around Kaimes
We visit homes around Drum Park, Gracemount High School and Liberton Parish Church, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Shawfair station, about 3.2 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Craigmillar Castle (2 miles north-east) and Natural History Collections (1.6 miles north). The countryside around Kaimes includes Blackford Hill and The New Leaf Co-op.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about bath resealing in Kaimes
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
