Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Piershill, Edinburgh

Bath resealing in Piershill without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Piershill: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Piershill: your questions answered
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
