Bath resealing in Mayfield, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mayfield as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Mayfield
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Mayfield.
Do you cover the whole of Midlothian?
We cover the entire UK, including Mayfield and the rest of Midlothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Resealing in Mayfield: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Take a look at our prices page.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
For a price in Mayfield, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
What we are called out for in Mayfield
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
