About our bath resealing in Queensferry

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Queensferry

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Queensferry use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Queensferry, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH30 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Queensferry

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Queensferry?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH30 postcode.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
