Bath Resealing for Merchiston homes
We travel to Merchiston for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Merchiston
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Merchiston
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Merchiston and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you come to Merchiston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Merchiston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we’re called out for in Merchiston
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
