Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, 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.

About our bath resealing in Roslin
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Roslin and across Midlothian.

Common problems we fix in Roslin
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant

What else we do in Roslin
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Roslin
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Roslin. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
