DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Resealing in Muirhouses: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Muirhouses
- Baths

What we are called out for in Muirhouses
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
- If travel is included in the price
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
