- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
About our bath resealing in Muirhouse
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. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
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.

What else we do in Muirhouse
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Muirhouse. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Muirhouse. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Resealing in Muirhouse: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
Take a look at our prices page.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Muirhouse
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How much does bath resealing cost in Muirhouse?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Common problems we fix in Muirhouse
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
