Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Marchmont, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Marchmont
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How to care for the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marchmont
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Marchmont: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Resealing in Marchmont: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
