- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath resealing in Loanhead, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Loanhead questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What else we do in Loanhead
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Midlothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we are called out for in Loanhead
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
