Bath resealing in Old Craighall, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Do you need bath resealing in Old Craighall?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Why reseal now?
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 each one is priced on its own. 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.

What affects the price in Old Craighall
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Old Craighall
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH21 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?
We work UK-wide, so Old Craighall is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
