Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Preston, East Lothian
Our technicians come to Preston for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Preston
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Preston

- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
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’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Preston
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Preston?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of East Lothian?
We cover the entire UK, including Preston and the rest of East Lothian. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Preston?
We do. We send a technician to Preston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
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.
