Bath Resealing for Sciennes homes
Local bath resealing for Sciennes: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle bath resealing in Sciennes
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Sciennes
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How much does bath resealing cost in Sciennes?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Sciennes?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sciennes and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When to call us in Sciennes
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sciennes. 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 price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
