Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shandon, Edinburgh
We travel to Shandon for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Shandon, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath resealing in Shandon
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shandon
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shandon questions
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
