Bath resealing in Mayfield, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mayfield and across Edinburgh.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Mayfield questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Mayfield?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH9 postcode.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Mayfield?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Mayfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Mayfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
