Bath resealing for Leith homes

Bath resealing at your home in Leith

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

What affects the price in Leith

There’s no area surcharge for Leith. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Leith

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth resealing in Leith

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Leith

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
