Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Prestonpans, East Lothian
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Prestonpans, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
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.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How we handle bath resealing in Prestonpans
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath resealing in Prestonpans?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
