Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Kingsknowe, Edinburgh
Bath resealing across Kingsknowe and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Kingsknowe without replacing anything
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. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kingsknowe as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kingsknowe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Do you need bath resealing in Kingsknowe?

Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Kingsknowe
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
