Bath resealing in Niddrie, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Niddrie and across Edinburgh.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
Signs you need bath resealing in Niddrie
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Niddrie. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

We will give you the curing time.
