Need bath resealing in Penicuik?

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add 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 Penicuik customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

How we handle bath resealing in Penicuik

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Penicuik

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common problems we fix in Penicuik

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Penicuik

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you come to Penicuik?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Penicuik and the rest of Midlothian. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
