Bath resealing at your home in Oxgangs
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Oxgangs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Oxgangs get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oxgangs as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Oxgangs
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
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.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you come to Oxgangs?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Oxgangs and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our full price list.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
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 any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
