Bath Resealing for Pilrig homes
Bath resealing for Pilrig, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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.
About our bath resealing in Pilrig
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Landlord and trade work in Pilrig
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Signs you need bath resealing in Pilrig
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pilrig
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Pilrig.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Are there extra charges for Pilrig?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What affects the price in Pilrig
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
